use castor oil at night, shampoo with M-folia shampoo in the morning. This shampoo doesn't contain SLS's but still lathers. No other shampoo has proved as good (buy on line). My scalp became clear after 6 months and has remained totally clear for the last nine months when only shampooing and no longer using the castor oil.

At the end of last year, I developed a bunch of white patches in my scalp. At first, my scalp felt tight, and then there was an uncomfortable itch. I tried over-the-counter Nizoral and that made the tightness worse and even made my scalp feel like there were small cuts. Then I tried Neutrogena T-Gel. My scalp didn't feel dry, but the itch and patches were still there. After dealing with this for about 3 months, I finally went to a dermatologist.
The dermatologist prescribed, DermaSmoothe because she said it was dandruff. That did not work and was a complete mess. Then I tried sea salt, This worked very temporarily and dried my hair horribly. After another 2 months, I visited a second dermatologist who diagnosed me with scalp psoriasis.
I was prescribed Clobex as a shampoo and Taclonex to rub in my scalp. This worked. The only issue I had was the using for whatever reason when I used Clobex and Taclonex in the same day, I felt myself having slight trouble with breathing. So I skipped the Clobex and used the Taclonex. No problems with breathing and in fact, the patches, dryness, and itching were gone within 3 days.
Unfortunately, I had to take an antibiotic a couple of months ago and guess what....the patches were back. I rubbed some Taclonex on them and they were gone the next day. That helped me to know what the link is with my scalp psoriasis. Since then, I haven't had any patches, but a once in a blue moon itch. Taclonex holds it at bay. I hope this is helpful for someone who is at their wits end like I was.

When I became pregnant, I could not longer use the topical steroids that controlled my quite severe scalp psoriasis.I was able to still use the salicylic acid shampoo but it didn't do enough. Strangely enough, I found that just putting Vaseline on the scabs overnight and then washing my hair has totally controlled breakouts. The only downside is that is does make your hair a bit greasy until the second washing, but if you've had s.p. this is a small small problem. Super cheap too!

What you do is boil water, buy local honey. Local honey has the polen to help sore throat. combine the boiling water and keep on low for 3 minutes.
You could also, (if you don't like the taste, buy lemoaid and boil the water and put the lemon in it, boil for 3 min. and drink that.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! because it helped me a lot.
