Try Tgel shampoo or argan oil shampoo and conditioner. Both work a treat. I have psoriasis but not just on my scalp. Just over a year ago 60% of my body was covered so I know what you're going through x |

The gel is good but I find it a bit harsh so mix it with some good dandruff shampoo.
I also find using a good dandruff shampoo inbetween flare ups keeps everything calmer, though my problem is eczema not psoriasis. |

t gel doesn't work for everyone... i have it on the top of my head.... it is way to harsh for my head and basically burnt the scalp...
so i had to go in the other direction... aloe vera shampoos and gels.... were it soothes the skin... |

"I'm wondering if something more natural would help, like Neil's Yard nettle shampoo? "
Lush do a solid shampoo which is really good. It smells like tar due to cade oil.
Or try the black soap they make if you don't really have any hair. |

Switch to an sls free shampoo.. Could be contact dermatitis..
Sodium lauryl sulfate (sls) and its sister compounds . Ammonium lauryl Sulfate are renound for causing reactions similar to the one you've written about.
Try liquid castile soap... It's very mild, versatile, can be used for anything in terms of cosmetic cleansing you can think of, no sls or synthetic detergent compounds in the various formulations.
Dr bronner's castile soap is relatively widely available , and reasonably priced, try the mild unscented to start with.

Also it may sound random but don't wash your scalp too often, you can wash it too often which means the follicles in the scalp will work overtime to produce sebum as it dries the scalp out. A bit of a catch 22, it can be hard to tell if it's because you wash your hair too much or need to add moisture to your scalp x |

Anyone suffering with psoriasis for long time and and manage it , contact me for details of a proven Spa / hospital .
My brother suffered from worst type of psoriasis . Very rare one and whole body was covered and his scalp . Only face and ears were free of it .
We tried everything what doctored advised us .
Sea and sun do help a lot and we used to spend 30 or more days on the beach holidays . As soon as we returned home his condition reappeared .
We have heard of this spa and went for the consulation .
He is now psoriasis free.

Another relatively cheap way of soothing dermatitis / psoriasis..
Get some oats from the cupboard (plain oats that haven't been adulterated with anything.. Eg Quaker, Scots) mix into a thick paste using tap water, apply topically to the affected areas , put a shower cap on after applying. Leave on for the night.
Rinse off in the morning with tepid water (don't use shampoo! Just tepid water!). Repeat for a few nights. |

I agree on using oats, as they very quickly soothe your skin and seem to lead to healing.
I'd use a soak in the bath - it will nourish your body too - keeping your scalp underwater for as long as possible. A 5 mins soak will provide some good care. Don't use hot water, as this will irritate your skin even more - a comfortable temperature is better.
I find winter a tough time, due to harsh air conditioning and heating as well as cold weather and winds.
Eat plenty of fresh fruit, as your vitamin intake may be lower, which could slow yourskins ability to heal.
Using oats daily for a couple of weeks would likely show a massive improvement. Half to a cup full in a sock, soaked in the bath - allowing it to be absorbed into the water - would be fine.
Your vitamin B levels are also likely to be deficient, due to insufficient sunlight for a few months, as it's winter - take a supplement if you can.
And see your GP for a diagnosis. |
