Patient discussion about scalps.

Q. my daughter gets a flaky scalp - comes and goes, this bout is worse than previous. Any advice/help please Her scalp is very dry & flaky - and has come about very quickly this time round. She is 14 years of age. She has with past treatments used ketopine shampoo and nizoral cream - ketoconazole 2%w/w. We do not seem to be getting as good results this time round - maybe because of the severity of the condition. I would like to know if there are other more effective treatments and what preventers we could try. Would appreciate any advice you could give. Kind Regards,

Q. Looking for help treating psorasis on the scalp Have tried Tar shampoos and tea tree oil products..

A. I don't know how far you are from the ocean but if you can get a hold of some sea water (bottle it up) then you can apply it to your scalp daily and see how well that works. I can make one visit to the ocean and minutes later my psoriasis is flaking off and leaving clear skin. Read more about this ...
