As Gayle Says mention on his email I also have a mild case of scalp psoriasis.

I started itching on some parts of my scalp three months ago I was losing sleep because of this darn itching on my scalp ;(I use everything over the shelf for itching nothing work .
Then I decided to see a dermatologist
He also give me samples of “Clobex” shampoo only three bottles for free then I had to buy it myself. So far I been using it for three days now it working along with the T-Sal shampoo.
I was told to stop using the “Clobex” once the itching and flaking stop now I am sleeping at night So far it working let keep our fingers cross.

the sad thing is there is no permament cure for Psoriasis. we can only manage the itchiness by using corticosteroids.

a good topical solution for Psoriasis is applying Corticosteroid or Retinoids on affected areas. it helps tone down the redness and scaling.

I appreciate for the very useful information. Approximately 1.5 million of people are nowadays suffering from Psoriasis. The exact cause of psoriasis is yet unknown. It may be due to environmental factors or genetical component. After many years of investigation the Dermatologist found that the only medicine which can cure psoriasis is Seabuckthorn oil.

I was given clobetasol for my scalp and the psoriasis all over the rest of my body. It worked for me, but in the 2 weeks I was told to take it, the psoriasis was not completely gone - and once I stopped taking it in favor of the next medication my dermatologist suggested, Protopic (tacrolimus - an immunosuppressant), it came right back worse than ever.

I don’t personally get the happiness during summer thing. My skin doesn’t get particularly dry in the winter and in the summer, if I get overheated, with my psoriasis my entire body starts to itch, especially my scalp - making me irritable and annoyed.

I had a mild but persistent case of scalp psoriasis. An excellent dermatologist gave me a bag full of topical “Clobex” samples (clobetasol propionate) and instructions to shampoo my hair every day with Neutrogena T-Sal shampoo. In less than two weeks, the itching and flaking were completely gone.

I had put off going to the dermatologist, instead trying to treat myself with over the counter dandruff stuff. Should have gone to the dermatologist in the first place, instead of buying every single dandruff shampoo I could find - which didn’t work.

I think Clobex works because it’s a strong topical steroid.
