Psoriasis on the scalp

I always get psoriasis flare ups on my scalp which can last months and when it’s bad I can’t hide the shedding skin or scabs that form. I’ve tried so many different products and creams but nothing really helps. My hair is really thick which doesn’t help either and it always seems to worsen when I’m on my period so I never go more than a few weeks symptom free. What would you advise or recommend to help?

Re: Psoriasis on the scalp

Thank you for your question. I am so sorry to hear about your scalp psoriasis. Psoriasis can be really distressing!
Have you tried Etrivex medicated shampoo? Your GP or dermatologist can prescribe it.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
