Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Scalp psoriasis responds very well to topical potent steroid lotions with or without salicylic acid. Significant improvement is usually noticeable within 2-4 weeks.
Besides topical steroid lotions topical Vitamin D analogues e.g calcitriol/ calcipotriol lotions is also an effective treatment modality in scalp psoriasis, being antiinflammatory in action as well as normalizing abnormal epidermal hyperproliferation.
Coal tar+salicylic based shampoo is also of immense benefit in scalp psoriasis.
Coal tar is anti-inflammatory as well as anti-proliferative in action thus normalizing epidermal hyperproliferation.
Salicylic acid is keratolytic and helps exfoliate thick scaling that usually accompanies psoriasis.
These are prescription medications and therefore I suggest that you visit a specialist in your vicinity for the needful.
Regards
