Brief Answer:
It takes around 3- 4 weeks in scalp to show the improvement.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum. I can understand your concern for the psoriasis of scalp.

I can make out you have been following proper treatment but still not getting good results in 10 days.

Before I proceed let you know certain important points in relation to scalp psoriasis.

Scientifically and medically our skin is a multiple layered structure. Our skin gets renewed every day. The layer which is present on the top today will be fallen off tomorrow.

Now in some persons it is renewed at a faster pace. Our superficial skin is renewed in every 28 days. If the process of renewal occurs at fast pace in 4-5 days rather than 28 days it leads to this chronic relapsing condition of psoriasis.

Psoriasis of scalp needs proper best management in form of maintenance of scalp hygiene to reduce the accumulation of excessive deposition of flakes and scales.

We can not change our own tendency to renew the skin but the personal measures of hygiene as well as the environmental factors can be modified to reduce the accumulation.

Wash your scalp daily. I guide my patients to wash twice in a single bath. It means when you are washing your scalp apply first time shampoo for washing the hair part only, then rinse it off immediately with water. Reapply the shampoo again immediately, leave it for around 5 minutes, do a good gentle massage by your fingers for around 2 minutes and then wash it off. By doing so for around 7 days you will get good benefit. So you can use ketoconazole and salicylic acid lotion shampoo as guided above.


You should use the clobederm -s lotion for two times. Apply very gently over the scalp skin in day and night time. Once you get the improvement then can be reduced to one time and then alternate days.

Do not use any kind of hair oil or any oily or creamy stuff any time on your scalp. Comb your hair at least 3-4 times a day and most importantly at night time so that the dust particle and other of dead skin is taken off.

It takes around 3- 4 weeks in scalp to show the improvement. SO have patience for the same.

I hope this information will help you.
