I have plaque psoriasis on scalp (and hair loss).

It works for me and hair looks great for a month or two, then it dries out. There is something in the process that cleared up psoriasis, it always came back though.

I noticed whenever I colored my hair, psoriasis temporarily went away. I don't color my hair anymore and have gone gray. Thank You for response.

I think also that using all natural products helps too. If you are using shampoos that have sulfates, it does affect the PA and makes it worse. When I color my hair, it takes away the PA for a couple of days because it has coal tar in it and with use of the Peroxide, aka, developer, it helps alleviate the PA. Having been a licensed Cosmetologist for years, it does help when you shampoo with natural products. I also use natural aloe vera on the scalp, make sure it is the clear aloe vera. I also think Green Tea shampoo, (without sulfates), is also helpful. I have been using a product called Tweaked, all natural and is awesome. Make sure if you buy, that it is on sale, other wise very pricey. I hope this helps😊

so far it mag oil and good grade peroxide works for a day, maybe two (applied to scalp). By the 3rd day I am back to full tilt boogie, crust and all. I am thinking a more systemic approach will be needed and am going to try wormwood, clove, black walnut tincture. Not sure on protocol for that, will have to do more look up.

@A MyPsoriasisTeam Member, yes the hair color takes away the plaques for a while. I would not advice to put it on if you have any open places or if it is irritated. Yes, it does work. I also use a deep moisturizer and put a cap on my head, so it penetrates into the scalp and hair, it has coconut in it. Smells awesome and also helps to keep the hair and scalp moisturized. It is called a deep moisturizing treatment. Hope this helps😊
