I have psorises at scalpe.My doctor has given me Psorid (100 mg)of Bio Con.I am taking this medicine twice daily since last 15 days but there is no great relief.Someone has suggested me No skurf lotion.I want to know whether that will be help full.Should I use any shampoo with this.
As you said you have scalp psoriasis...it may be relapsing and may for long time.I advise you to take regular and proper treatment of psoriasis from your dermatologist. Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing and autoimmune disease. Never take steroid as it might worsen psoriasis. I usually recommend cap acitretin 10 mg twice a day along with methotraxate 15 mg weekly in three devided doses 12 hourly. This may be taken for long time till good response. Blood tests may be done to monitor the treatment. Apply mild steroid lotion combined with salicylic acid on the scalp lesions...like clop-s lotion. You have to do shampoo daily. Regular and daily shampoo may be done with tar,salicyliacid and ketoconazole containing shampoo like salisia KT. Avoid stress and worries as that might worsen psoriasis. Avoid bad habit of smoking,tobacco and beverages if you have. Avoid heavy combing of hairs of scalp,which might worsen scalp lesions. You may apply noskurf lotion..that might reduce scales from the scalp.Have patience for the good result.I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
