My son had it on his head. The doctor gave us this prescription for this stuff made mainly out of peanut oil.  We rubbed it on his head and he wore a plastic cap to bed. In the morning we washed it out and combed his hair & all the psoriasis just literally peeled off his scalp.  We had to do it a few times when it got bad.  He also had to use a prescription called "Dovonex" (not sure if I spelled that correctly"\nI do know too that if you arent wanting to go to a doctor you could try Scalpicin. It makes your head not itch. Also using Nuetrogenia shampoo.

GET A SHAMPOO THAT HAS "TEA-TREE OIL" IN IT. OVER THE COUNTER IS GOOD, UNLESS YOU HAVE SEVERE PSORIASIS. THEN YOU SHOULD GET IT IN CONCENTRATED FORM,  FROM A SALON, "SALLY'S", OR OTHER DISCOUNTED BEAUTY STORE. "TEA-TREE OIL" CAN BE USED ANYWHERE ON YOUR BODY THAT YOU HAVE PSORIASIS, NOT JUST YOUR HAIR. IT'S ALL NATURAL WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS. AND IT HAS A SOMEWHAT MINTY SCENT THAT TINGLES WHEN YOU USE IT. IT'S SAFE ENOUGH TO USE EVERYDAY, BUT IS STRONG ENOUGH THAT IT WORKS GREAT. (YIKES- THAT SOUNDED LIKE AN\nADVERTISEMENT, SORRY ABOUT THAT.)  YOU'LL NOTICE\nA DIFFERENCE AFTER THE FIRST USE. AND IN ABOUT A\nWEEK YOU'LL REALLY BE ABLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.\nKEY TO PSORIASIS IS OILY HAIR AND/ OR SKIN. SO MAKE \nSURE YOU WASH REGULAR TO (BECAUSE OF SWEATING),\nAND YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY TALCUM POWDER ON YOUR BODY TO ABSORB EXCESSIVE OILS. ALSO, USE OIL FREE TOILETRY'S AND PRODUCTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. OH I ALMOST FORGOT. YOU CAN BUY "TEA-TREE OIL" BODY SOAP TOO. ONE MORE THING.....IF YOU USE THE CONCENTRATED FORM, YOU ONLY NEED A LITTLE. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. PLUS, DON'T THINK IT'S NOT WORKING WHEN IT DOESN'T LATHER LIKE REGULAR SHAMPOO. TRUST ME, IT'S WORKING. GOOD LUCK!!

There is no cure but here are some things you can do at home to help.\n\nHome Treatment\n\nSkin care at home can help control psoriasis. Skin care and treatment may include using creams or lotions, pills, baths or soaks, and ultraviolet (UV) light. Skin care for psoriasis includes the following:\n\nTake care of your skin and keep it moist and lubricated. \nGently soften and remove psoriasis crusts by putting cream on the crusts and then peeling the loose crusts off. Removing crusts may help creams and lotions to be absorbed in the skin. However, this should be done very carefully so that the skin is not irritated. \nFollow instructions for skin products and prescribed medications. It may take a period of trial and error until you know which skin products or procedures work best for you. For mild symptoms of psoriasis, various nonprescription medications, such as aloe vera, may be soothing. \nFollow your schedule for sunlight or ultraviolet light treatments. \nSeek information or counseling from your doctor. Psoriasis day care centers may be available in limited locations. To find a center near you, ask your doctor or contact the National Psoriasis Foundation at http://www.psoriasis.org.

Western and some Easterm medicine will only "mask" the symptoms with creams or ointments. If you're interested in ridding yourself of this, you may want to try looking into the product "Threelac". I've provided you with the link below.....Really READ about it first and do the saliva test! \n\nI'm currently on this program for my eczema problems which is a sister illness to psoriasis. Although I've recently sent out a question to this site about my condition, I'm still convinced that the problem lies within my intestines. I'm just curious to see what other people have to say about it....\n\nRegardless.....if you do decide to go with this program....I recommend these folks over any of the others....they are very helpful on the phone with any questions that (YOU WILL HAVE) during your cleanse......\n\nMuch success to you!\n\n:)\nPeace \n\nSource(s):

My husband suffers from a skin condition that numerous dermatologists said was psoriasis, and yet, no medication works for him either.  He began to take a few baths a week rather than showers all the time, and just added a good squirt of baby oil.  It didn't "cure" it, but it brought the inflammation down a lot, and lessened the itching.  I was amazed that such a simple thing made such a difference for him.  Hope this helps.

UV Light is really good for skin conditions like psoriasis, you can ask you doctor to reefer you for it, or you can buy a small portable face tanner - my dad used one for his psoriasis and it worked really well, but talk to you doc first to see how long/often you should use it

Exfoliating is the answer. There are scrubs and mittens that do the trick. Speak to a dermatologist or speak to your pharmacist they can help. good luck :-)

Its sounds like what my husband has, you might have psoriasis or eczema. I would recommend going to the dermatologist to get some topical cream or pills. If you don't have the money for the doctor right now try Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo, it has worked well for my husband.

I believe in doctor prescibed medications but sometimes simple is better.  Psoriasis is caused from skin cells growing too fast and they become rough and sightly.  You will think that I am crazy but get some lard not oil or crisco but real lard.  Cover the areas well at night with the lard and cover it then with a cloth to protect your clothes and linens.  Give it about a week and I believe that you will notice a difference.  The lard does not cure it but it softens the rough skin and gives it a smoother appearance.  It will look better and you will feel better about it.  Think of it as a beauty treatment like applying lotion or skin treatment for beauty.

It might be worth checking out if it it could be psoriasis. There is a lot of info on the web, www.psoriasis.org and others. But of course it's better to arrange to see a doctor as soon as you can.

beside massaging the scalp, neck, forehead and a bath ..\nI suggest:\n\nAvoid bright light.\n\nAvoid loud noises.\n\nDrink plenty of water.\n\nTry Excedrin Migraine formula (which is just a combination of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine, but it works better for me than any of the heavy-duty prescription drugs I've tried in the past).\n\nIf sleeping isn't an option due to the pain, go for even more caffeine. I recommend hot coffee or espresso, no sugar.\n\nRed Bull either makes everything somewhat better or much, much worse. Some people swear by it, though.\n\nA doctor once recommended filling the kitchen sink with hot water and then submerging my arms up to elbows for as long as I could stand it. This is only effective for me before the headache gets bad, but when it works, it works like magic. I don't know why.\n\nBaths seem to help, although showers are effective, too.\n\nMassaging the points mentioned is good - but it works much better if you can get someone else to do it so you can relax your neck muscles more.\n\nDo NOT watch the movie Pi\nMy grandma swears by this stuff called BC. You can find it at Publix - its usually on the bottom shelf under all the asprins, etc. Its a plain looking white box with blue trim.. It just says BC on the box then Fast Pain Relief.\n\nMy cousins wife get serious migranes and last time she was in Florida - she didn't have her medication. she got a real bad migrane and my grandma gave her this stuff - and it worked. Its old skool.. this stuff was created in 1906.\n\nIts powder form so you can mix it with anything.. its tasteless.\n\nIf grandma says it works, then it works.\n\nHere's their website so you can see what the box looks like. I think its real cheap too like $3 or $4 bucks:\ni hope i solved your problem especially with the last one

my mom has had psoriasis for 30+ years.  I know what it's like. \nExposure to sun and UV helps.\nWatching your diet helps.  There are support groups for people like you.  Do a google search for more info.
