Hi, I had scalp psoriasis a while back. I found that Boots the
Chemist sell a cold tar shampoo called "Polytar". I used this every
other day for a few months and my scalp cleared up beautifully.
Give it a try! Alternatively, I also used a shampoo called Exorex
which is available on prescription from your GP, you can buy it over
the counter, but it can be quite pricey. The Polytar shampoo costs
just under £4 a bottle, which might seem expensive, but it lasts
quite well and it worked for me.

I’m assuming that you live in the UK, apologies if this is incorrect!

Good Luck!!

Hello,

Being the type who will only use natural solution as
much as possible, I found for myself that a shampoo
named Psoriasil made by Home Health (it comes in two
types, one with a ‘tar’ type ingredient and the other
is not) along with extra vitamin d, zic and b12 and a
good multiple. It will take approximately six to ten
weeks to see some results.

A link to additional information is:

Thanks.

My mother uses Dovonex shampoo and twice-daily scalp drops because she says
tar-based shampoos break her out. The Dovonex dries out her scalp, but it does
help keep the psoriasis under control. I think it’s pretty expensive but the
dermatologist gave her a lot of sample bottles.

Chanukah, for scalp problem, use a Tar based shampoo,
like Denorex Medicated, or CVS makes their own brand
of Tar Shampoo. This will help a lot !!

Hello SILVIA, you have my attention about "shaperite" I do not know this
product as I am writing to you from Melbourne Australia, could you Email me
some more information regarding Shaperite its manufacturer and the
ingrediants in it. If it works as well as you say as a High enema its worth
a try. Vince

Vincent: you can avoid the expense of the "high colon enema" by using the
"Fibre" from Shaperite. Same as a purge if used one pkt three times per day.
If you use one per day you’d have a clean whistle and the knowlege that the
black walnut ingredient is not tolerated by internal parasites. People
"worm" their pets but not themselves. I wonder why.

Dear Peter, try T-GEL therapeutic shampoo and T-GEL conditioner by
Neutrogena, this should get rid of most of the Psoriasis from your scalp
just follow the instructions on the bottle. Also get some Slippery Elm Bark
powder and have a teaspoon every morning half hour before breakfast leave it
stand for about 10-15 minutes before drinking it this will help control your
Psoriasis,also try internal cleansing diets and high colon enema’s done by a
professional. Good luck Vince

I would like to know whether fluid formation under the skin may be
associated with scalp psoriasis. In my case, I have a sensation of fluid
that seems to form under a psoriasis and then drain under the skin to the
areas above my ears and behind my eyes. Often, it feels as if I have water
in my ears. On other occasions, my eyes become irritated and water.

I’ve already seen two dermatologists about this. One said that the
psoriasis had become infected and prescribed an antifungal treatment (which
did reduce the inflammation). The fluid sensation, however, remained. At
that point, he said that the infection had probably damaged some nerve
endings and that if it continued I should see a neurologist. I saw another
dermatologist and she said that she can’t treat what she can’t see. As far
as she was concerned, there was nothing to treat.

This is not just a trivial annoyance. Is there anyone on this list who has

had a similar condition? If so, what is the proper course of treatment?
