That was me. My hairdresser didn’t even seem like it was unusual. She helps me keep track of how my scalp is looking, since it’s an are we can’t see very well. Sometimes I think I have a big outbreak, but it looks clear. The color actually feels good on my scalp too. The flakes are colored for a few days afterwards! I have had one hairdresser who made a comment about not liking to deal with it because it grossed her out. She didn’t know I had it. I never went back. You could call your hairdresser and ask if she is comfortable with scalp psoriasis. The shop where I go has a number of hairdressers, most of whom openly discuss arthritis, PsA, other autoimmune, and medications they have used and the outcome. The shampoo sinks are treasure trove of info!

I'm using Tacrolimus for the groin area when I absolutely need to but it makes me so itchy for the first 3 or 4 hours that I apply it. Almost like an allergic reaction but then it stops and does help clear up the psoriasis for a while. Anyone else having this reaction to it?

Thanks AKLouise!

The dermatologist prescribed the Tacrolimus ointment. It's very expensive so I have to see if a specialty pharmacy can fill the script but it looks like they will. I hope it will continue to help me. I am having a hard time with my scalp psoriais now. I'm getting so many bumps and I am afraid my hair dresser might not want to color my hair if my head is like this. Somebody here said that hairdressers are used to seeing this kind of thing and it shouldn't be a problem. I hope that's correct because I look awful and would like to do something to help.

Thank AKLouise!
