A major game changer for me is no beer and very little alcohol. Psoriasis started for me in my early 20s when I started drinking beer. Since then, I have found Neutrogena T-Gel (Coal Tar, max strength) and DHS (tar and zinc) to be the only helpful shampoos; and I very much recommend trying to only washing with shampoo 2-3x a week max. I condition (preferably with unscented products) all other times you bath. My dermatologist also started having me use H&S Royal Oils Scalp Cream, which is coconut oil based. I haven't used it long enough to know how well it does. I did just started Skyrizi though (in May 2024), and my moderate/severe psoriasis on my scalp, face, elbows, and knees has never looked so good after only 2 months from the first dose! (And this is coming from someone who hates marketing and ads, so sorry for the name dropping.)

Hi Dianne10. An Itchy Scalp may be an Allergic reaction that U are having from a Food/Beverage/Dusty Environment or Medication. The best thing to do is pick Up an anti-histamine at Your local Pharmacy & give it a try. Have U ever given any thought to an Allergy test? Bring it Up in a Convo. with Your Fav. Doctor. There's loads of them an the amazon.com.જ⁀➴
