I believe I have scalp psoriasis on my scalp and forehead. It is itchy, and dead skin falls out when scratched. I initially confused it with dandruff and used various anti-dandruff shampoos without results. How can I treat it?
Use medicinal shampoos containing salicylic acid or coal tar to treat scalp psoriasis. Apply topical medications to the afflicted areas, such as calamine lotion. To lessen dryness, moisturize with oils like coconut oil. See a dermatologist for more potent prescription treatments.
