Brief Answer:
Seborrheic dermatitis; ketoconacole based shampoo & topical steroid lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern

Severe dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis is a common cause of scalp itching, redness, scaling and hair fall.

I suggest you to use Scalpe shampoo, daily. It is a 2% ketoconazole and ZPTO based shampoo. Lather it well on to your scalp and leave on for 5 minutes and then rinse it off.

You may also use a topical steroid lotion e.g topisal 3% solution at scalp skin at night and allow it to act overnight. Use it for 2 weeks

Brief Answer:
Remedy for scalp psoriasis

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Discontinue with what you have been doing. Follow what i have suggested.
For psoriasis i would advice you to use Protar shampoo in place of scalpe shampoo. Protar is even better than scalp shampoo. Also use topisal 3% lotion at night on scalp skin and allow it to act overnight.
