Cut back sugar and carbs. They are inflammatory. Psoriasis is an inflammatory response to built up toxins that damage our autoimmune response and send healing to damaged skin and just doesn't stop healing. Food additives are a big trigger as well as junk foods. My biggest is food dye. Red 40 . blue3

Have you tried the scalp cream from moogoo? I found using the scalp cream overnight then washed in morning with the moogoo shampoo and conditioner really helped, it might take a few goes but mine is so much easier to deal with now! Also a nit comb gets the little bits out quite well, hope shes dealing with it ok, also if using a hairdryer try not to use the hottest setting x
