Brief Answer:
Management of scalp psoriasis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
For psoriasis propysalic NF6 ointment is fine but usually lotion is preferred for hairy areas like the scalp.
I usually recommend my patients to use a clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily along with a shampoo containing salicylic acid and coal tar twice weekly.
Besides this I also recommend them to take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once daily at bedtime if it is associated with itching.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

We don't have permanent cure for psoriasis.
