Please elaborate on how you use it. I have it for my scalp but not clear on washing hair daily before reapplying or just keep piling it on. I can't wash my hair daily cause I have skinny hair. Many thanks.

Have you ever used Aquaphor. You can also get a prescription called Clabetisol they have cream or ointment. I prefer the ointment. It's gold in a tube! Love it. Reduces the scaley patches.

That's wonderful that you've found something that works well for both you and your son! Many people with psoriasis find that gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers designed for babies can be soothing for their skin.

When choosing products for psoriasis, it's helpful to look for:
- Fragrance-free formulas to reduce irritation
- Ingredients like colloidal oatmeal (which Aveeno is known for)
- Ceramides to help strengthen the skin barrier
- Salicylic acid or lactic acid for managing scales

It's always a good idea to patch test any new product first by applying it to a small area twice daily for 7-10 days. If there's no discoloration, itching, or swelling, it's likely safe to use more broadly.

Keep applying moisturizers right after bathing while your skin is still damp - this helps lock in moisture even better. And definitely check with your dermatologist to make sure your moisturizer works well with any prescription treatments you're using.
