Thanks for writing in.
The condition you are suffering is Psoriasis .
It is a genetic condition.
It can be kept under controlled with treatment.
Can re occur with stress or infection.
Treatment you are given is correct continue it for atleast 2 months.You can stop applying lotions on scalp.Only continue with oral medication.


Also supportive oral tablets containing omega 6 FA and multivitamis can be helpful.

It can come back in winter season.Do not allow scalp to be dry.

Hope this helps.
