SCALP PSORIASIS IS DRIVING ME F*CKING INSANE!!

Shave your head and use head and shoulders everyday and you wont have a problem.

enbrel works, but it is $30 grand a year, as soon as you stop the psoriasis comes back, and if you have an underlying infection, like tuberculosis, it might cause it to freaking explode

the coal tar shampoos have carcinogens in them

i have tried a lot of shit, and nothing seems to work

there is an artificial vitamin d3 metabolite creme called dovonex that i am going to see if medicare covers, as it is screamingly expensive...supposedly it works...but it isnt for the scalp

There is a Dovonex Scalp Solution. It too is obscenely expensive.

Enbrel is an immune response modifier. No one has ANY idea what the long term consequences of using it are.
I would expect lymphomas and the like.

No rash, however irritating, is worth dying over.

Try Oregon Grape Root. The odds are 50/50 with no real downside.

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU INSENSITIVE
PIECE OF SHIT , YOU LITTLE BITCH..

Dude, "P" is not a fungal infection ..Its a genetic skin disorder.

This has worked on several patients in the office...

Flax Seed Oil 3 times a day.

Are you sure it it psoriasis or could it be seborrheic dermatitis?
two different things....

Wambli, how do you tell the diffeerence my doctors couldn't...

They are similiar in appearance in the scalp. Psoriasis - if you flake all the white stuff the bottom area is red and raised ( puffy looking). In seb derm- after "peeling" off the greasy crust- the skin underneath looks pretty normal.

Flax seed oil does not work on seborrheic dermatitis. Neither does Selsun shampoos. Neutrogena TGel seems to help but not totally. Seb Derm is related to times of high stress...
You do have to wash your hair everyday if you have that.
If it is psoriasis- the Flax seed will clear it up.

Yeah, if the poor guy has tried all these
remedies, he IS bald by now ....

I too have the same diagnosis and wrote the post that follows yours above.

I also have some face involvement which seems similar, but in my case was
diagnosed as Rosacea. For that I get a prescription cream called Metro. Don't get the lotion it's a mess.

You'll know you have Rosacea if you've had conjunctivitis in the recent past.
They travel together. If not, ask your dermatologist about Metro cream. Another thing that helped, but it's something you must return for regularly
is some kind of ultraviolet ray used on the face.

Good luck.

lighten the load on your liver & what it must detox.
treat your liver well, and the skin will benefit.

I don't know if this will work--I offer it only as something to try--I was told once that 'castor oil' applied topically will almost magically cure *any* skin problem.

It is called 'Palma de Christe' in some cultures, "Hand of Christ," for it's astounding healing properties on skin problems.

Worth a try, I guess. I would try it, if it were me in that boat.

Also be sure you are getting all the trace minerals.

I have seborrheic dermatitis and my doctor recommeded Nizoral 1%.

It's expensive, about $15 dollars per 7oz, but it really worked for me.

It's also a high-end shampoo with no odor, unlike Head and shoulders or that coal tar crap that smell like an expired multi-vitamin.

Careful with that tea tree oil, I heard it will give you man boobs.

Mr Jackal: Too late for that pearl. :(

My son has psoriasis on his scalp, and his dermatologist has prescribed Dermasmoothe. It is awesome, and works great! Seriously :)

Research Jojoba oil from cactus. It is like 15 bucks for a little bottle in a healthfood store. Absorbs into skin fast. I'm a dude so I don't like to walk about with shiny skin. The oil is one of the only that actually cleans your pores. I had your condition around my nose and upper lip really bad and it has been great with this oil for about two years. All I do is wash with soap in the shower and use jojoba now.

It is actually a natural fungicide derived from cactus seeds that exists as an oil. dermatitis is largely due to stubborn fungus.

jojoba oil, too

oh, and use dr. bonner's peppermint liquid soap...

USE WD-40 DIRECTLY ON THE SCALP IN THE WORST AREAS, LEAVE ON 10 MINUTES THEN RINSE WITH JOHNSONS BABY SHAMPOO

NO JOKE!!

I know this for a fact: the WD40 oil-base is fish oil NOT mineral oil. So using on the scalp is not so mad as it seems. It'll be rich in omega 3's which is ideal for the skin.

APPLECDER VENIGAR IN SHAMPOO THEN THE SIZE OF PEA OF OLIVE OIL GENTLY WORKED IN ALL OVER YOU SCALP..USE CLEAN PILLOWCASE NIGHTLY AND COVER YOUR LOUNGE CHAIR WITH CLEAN SHEET IF YOUR HEAD TOUCHES ITL.WASH SHEET EVERY 3 DAYS .. CLEAN CAP .OR HAT..WASH HANDS CAUSE HAND CAN INFECT SCALP..use clean paper towels to dry hair and body..dirty towels reinfect skin.

Store product called "SCALPICIN". 1% Hydrocortisone. Use after shampooing. Dries after 1 minute. Works like a charm. Is an antimicrobrial scalp treatment. Buy at any drugstore.

And it this doesn't work. Order product called Miracle 2 Soap. Sposed to really work for psoriasis very well. Just google "MIRACLE 2 SOAP." Power Hour Radio site sells this as well.

I believe you are wrong about WD-40. See this web site for ingredients.

My step dad had the same problem then he got proscribed the new medicine called Embrell he injects it 2x a week. It works as he has no traces anywhere left after just 2 month the only downs side is it's made out of aborted fetuses and I would not touch it even for medicine however others can :).

But I know another way that my great great granny used to advise to people in the village back in 1920 (till the last war1995) as she would tell me after I asked about what it was as this lady was visiting and she had it. My grandma was a East European women, remote village, generation to generation healing medicine....

Anyway she used to say water is the essence of life therefore the cure of it all. She told me if you take 5 days (7days after you are more used to the routine) out of each month to not eat anything but only drink water you will have no disease especially skin related. She lived long, strong and vise, eat once a day only a solid meal and fruit and drank teas she would harvest herself only, (I swear she must be getting buzzed off those teas she liked so).

Try the water thing make sure you drink 2 to 2.5 liters of water a day and eat nothing. If you need a sugar boast take half of tea spoon a day. You will have a headache for 1st 2 days and irritation but everything will be fine otherwise. If you have any other health problems advise your doctor and ask for advice. Trust me it works a miracle.

well....isn't that attractive

Nizoral is the way to go. It was prescription only until two years ago for scalp psoriasis.

[link to www.nizoral.com]

It is FDA approved.

Now available OTC.



I used it and no longer have the problem or need to use the shampoo.

Sweet relief from scalp itch in about 7 days, then use it only 2 times a week.


Only needed to use it twice a week for 3 months to solve the problem.


Holistic remedies be damned. Dandruff is caused by a fungus, and it takes MEDICINE to remove it.

Trench...

You're my kind of mage....

I love your mother fuckin' signature!
