It worked on my scalp psoriasis and stopped the itching too. I also tried one called Exorex, which I got on prescription from my Doctor. Good Luck!

I've found a few things through trial and error that have worked for me; coconut oil rubbed into the scalp and left on one hour before showering helps a lot, not using soaps/shampoos but rather Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap (I use the tea tree type), and make your body more alkaline through diet. I personally would never use a petroleum product on my skin. My basic rule is if I cant eat it, I won't put it on my skin. Hope this helps, <!--more--> Raine MIMI MIMI wrote: Hi Melissa,

I have tried many different shampoos/conditioners products with salycic acid and they DO NOT work. In fact it seems to irritate my eczema more. Make sure you read all the ingredients in the products you try. It helps to keep the area moisturized. If you can, don't shampoo you hair as often. Just rinsing it well with water and conditioning it is good.
