Doctor: Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagicPsoriasis can affect the scalp as well as other body areas. Psoriatic patches on scalp have thick scaling usually not controlled by OTC antidandruff shampoo.In my patients of psoriasis I usually advice a coal tar+ salicylic acid based shampoo, to be used every alternate days.Since psoriasis is a steroid responsive condition, therefore I also usually prescribe topical potent steroid+salicylic acid based lotions, in my patients of scalp psoriasis.Apart from steroid lotions Vitamin D analogues are also options that can be tried for scalp involvement with psoriasis.These are all prescription medicines. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for assessment of the severity of scalp involvement and appropriate treatment.Regards
