new with scalp psoriasis
Question:
Suzy, In that Case you should DEFINITELY use Nizoral Shampoo. Go for the 2% and not the 1% OTC. I use it at least once a week and it keeps the scales, scratching and the misery at bay. Without doubt, you should give it a try. Rob – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >I’m not sure how long I’ve had psoriasis but I get it now and then in my >scalp.

I’ve just seem to have developed some scalp psoriasis from lysine supplementation. I really thought it was a good idea due to the anti-imflamatory aspects of lysine but, it was too much of a good thing ~1500mg/day. A real problem recycling those excess aminos. Restriction of excess amino acids may be one route. But it seems balancing (ie arginine)them is more desirable. I am otherwise symptom free, eating a high n3:n6 ratio unsaturated fat/monosaturated(olive oil), it really improves the lipid bari tossed out 90% refined wheat products and increased vegetable matter. Ascorbic acid ~5000mg/day. Got sloppy through the holidays tho! I really think the only way out is diet. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Suzy

I’m not sure how long I’ve had psoriasis but I get it now and then in my scalp. I currently have it and a couple spots are pretty thick. It’s getting looser from the scalp but when I try to pull the lose piece out I get clumps of hair, my hair is pretty thick but it still bothers me to see that much hair coming out with the P. I was prescribed DermaSmooth a couple years ago by a derm i was seeing but it’s difficult for me as I need help in and out of the shower and it needs to be on so long. My question is are there other alternatives or ways of letting the pieces of P slide off the hair shafts? This is driving me crazy and I want it gone Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

I found olive oil left on over night helps and is a good conditioner for the hair.

Hi, I started of with P on my scalp in 1995. I now have a patch on my elbow plus the additional curse of the accompanying arthritis. My advice is to leave the P on your scalp more or less alone. I just live with it whilst using Dovenex lotion to attempt to control it if it seems partcularly bad. I believe it is here until the end. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I’m not sure how long I’ve had psoriasis but I get it now and then in my > scalp.

Suzy, "Picking" at the scales does a lot of harm to the skin tissue. Many of us "pre-treat" the scalp with Baker’s P&S which loostens the scaling and is easy to remove with a mild shampoo. (I use a mixture of SalAC, water and oil.) Rub it in carefully, cover with a plastic cap for an hour – or so and then shampoo out. If you have any reservations, try just a small spot. Irv—>in Alabama
