Any Suggestions For How To Brush/comb Hair With Scalp Psoriasis?

My 11yo daughter is on humira for Crohn’s and it seems to be causing psoriasis. Her entire scalp is flaking and red. The dermatologist prescribed treatments but I’m having a hard time applying because she says it hurts to even touch her hair.

I was told years ago, it takes a "trauma" to bring psoriasis to the "surface". Mine surfaced after the birth of my unexpected twin daughters. I would apply what little you can then wrap in saran wrap or a shower can and have her leave on as long as he can. I found TGel to be the best shampoo for me. Good luck.

Wondering if dosing of Humira is same for Crohn's as it is for PsA? Sometimes the dose of the drug is truly significant as is the frequency for Humira for me. Every 10 days- wonderful. Every 2 weeks, inadequate; every 1 week, IBS-type reaction.

But mine came out in revenge 17yrs ago & then when my life it went dormant.. well it's back with avengence 17 yrs later!!! Crazy 🤪 I've found something that just clears mine right up but it is NOT convenient and I have to stay on it!
