I have it on my scalp, it sux, but i have a steriod mousse, it doesn't get rid of it but it stops it from itching and flaking, however as soon as i stop doing it, it comes back with a vengence.

All Liars none of the treatments worked for me they still don't know S??t i dieted and didn't work either creams all sorts didn't work when i went to the dermatologist i had one spot now i have more than 40 spots ranging in size. The barber got frightened from the redness on my scalp and was staying 2 feet away cutting my hair ughh

My doctor recommended head and shoulders along with other treatments. it didn't work for me at all but I think certain things help some people and not others. 3 days ago I got Clobetasol Propronate foam 0.05% and within 3 days my scalp went from about 70 percent covered to about 10% covered.

tension helps it spread more. keep the positive att. and live a clean lifestyle. bath twice a day. use shampoo thrice a week. etc. msturise twice a day whole body.

even i have it. it spreads more wen scratched. and thts wen flakes find other areas.

treatment for hair is apply olive oil or any other herbal oil at night before sleep gently massage the scalp and affected area and in day use coal tar shampoo or any other shampoo that doesnt produce lather and dsnt contain chemicals/fragrance to wash it out. use every alternate days. although it didnt go away but i find 75% relief.

@Jgmoya1989 That's great. I'm gonna try some Head and Shoulders and see if it works.

I have it since my adolescence and it sucks on my hands, legs, but, feet, sides, elbows...actually a spot everywhere! I tried so much stuff and nothing worked really until today and if it did then only temporarily! The worst is when people reject you or even make fun of it without knowing that it's not your fault and that it already sucks enough without getting mocked. I try to ignore it and to keep my head up, but sometimes it really bothers me when I get these stupid comments and rejections!

That sucks I also have psoriasis for 12 years. I'm tired of this. I can't go out I can't have fun cause of that. I when to my doctor and my doctor told me there's nothing he can do. He gave me a cream it work for 3 months after 3 months it got worst!!!
