Itchy scalp

Hi
I have what I believe to be psoriasis on my scalp but it could also be dermatitis. I have allergies to most shampoos and my skin seems to itch uncontrollably when I eat certain foods such as wheat /egg, but the flaky scalp is still there whether I cut out wheat/egg or not. It is plaques that sometimes build up. I've heard that you can get this because of holiness and I used to have acne and I've got pcos. I found it difficult to get to a Drs. I don't know what to do about it or what it truly is. Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Itchy scalp

Dear Emma,

Thank you for your question. I am so sorry to hear about your scalp problems. Etrivex shampoo helps both scalp and dermatitis scalp. You may want to ask you dermatologist to prescribe it for you.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
