Oui ! Le psoriasis de cuir chevelu m'ennuie beaucoup.

I have had psoriasis for ten years. The scalp is the worst. It is terribly itchy.

Thanks for the terrific information!

I have had Psoriasis for 16 years and have tried a lot of shampoos and creams for my scalp, nothing worked so I pretty much gave up when it came to my scalp. I have been using a lot of different things since I was 8 years old and nothing seemed to do nething for me. But, am here now to find out if there are shampoos or creams that work for others in the same situation.

Yes, I have scalp psoriasis too! It seems to have gotten worse over the past year (I'm 42). I think it was triggered by letting my hair grow long and using a cheap hairspray that made my head itchy. Now I have cut my hair medium-short and it seems to be easing up a bit. I have had to cut my finger nails too because when watching TV etc., I tend to scratch and pick at my head which makes it worse :-( I have tried all kinds of shampoos for psoriasis, but none seem to work for me. Now with my nails short when my head itches I try just to give it a light rub to ease the itch, I have noticed some spots are not as bad now that I am not at it as much. I have psoriasis on my body too and I would have to say I would much rather have it on the body than the scalp!

I'm 37 years old and have had P since I was 13. My question to others is this:
Of those who have Psoriasis, how many of you with children have passed it to them ? This is my worst fear. I have an 11 year old and a 3 year old and my 3 year old is showing signs of the cracked, bleeding feet that I had as a child...any thoughts?

I have been dealing with psoriasis since I was about 5 years old, and that was 20 years ago. I find that for me it has gotten worse ever since I had my children. I used to only have it on my scalp, but now it is on my face, the palm of my hands, and the bottoms of my feet. I can handle all of it for the most part it's just the bottom of my feet that is the worst for me. I am not sure what I can do about it. It will get little blisters and if they pop there is like a yellow type puss that comes out of the blister. Has anyone ever had anything like that before? if so can you let me know if you have found anything to help with it, it hurts to walk a lot of the time.

My hair is going quite white, by-product of getting on in years! Is there any shampoo for scalp psoriasis that won't stain hair an attractive, but unusual colour of green? I didn't have this problem when my hair colour was brown! Any advice welcome!

Thanks for the info about products for scalp psoriasis :)
It's great to know that there are others out there with psoriasis because sometimes it gets just ridiculous with peoples comments.
I just wish people would keep their comments to themselves and also would like for others to know that its NOT a disease(not contagious) cause its embarrassing when in public and people say these things out loud.

Thanks again for listening :)

My daughter is 17 and insists on dyeing her hair...I am sure those of you who have teenagers know they have to be "different" than the rest, but not that different. Anyway she dyes her hair black and then bleaches the tips and dyes them red or green...I keep telling her she is going to regret it but her friends also do this and she wants to fit in. The psoriasis isn't really bad on her scalp but I am afraid she is going to irritate the condition so badly her hair will fall out. Any ideas? She's heading off to university and will probably continue to do this even against our better advice. She was born with psoriasis on her feet. It has never been really bad but I am so worried she will cause a full body episode...

Hi. My Psoriasis on my scalp has worsened with the summer months. I have tried many shampoos with very little relief. It is very thick on my scalp and has caused my scalp to tighten and cause me headaches. Is there an natural treatment for me to take off the scales.

Wow, I have so far only heard of 5 or 6 among the products mentioned! I am so pleased I joined this site for insightful posts from people of different shapes and sizes :) I come from the Philippines and have only been in Canada for 4 months. My father was diagnosed with psoriasis 10 years ago and I must admit that I am apprehensive that I am a very likely candidate for it too. Anyway, thanks again for your sharing guys! Keep 'em coming!!!

Hi all.
My scalp psoriasis was so bad, that the itching and flaking were almost driving me mad. One day I asked myself "how can I control this, short of cutting all my hair off"? So in order to get my ointment on my head instead of just in my hair, that's exactly what I did. I got my head shaved and in three days of putting my dermavate on my scalp the psoriasis was gone. It only reappears on my scalp when my hair starts to grow in thick again. Best move I made when it comes to controlling the scalp.

I have found that since I have cut my hair short, I have no problems with my face and hairline.

Try putting warm oil on the scalp, leave it on for awhile, and then shampoo...I found
that this had helped. It softens the scales.

I haven't found anything yet that really realieves my scalp... I tried many things but quebec doesn't seem to have many available options. It spreaded slowly in my scalp and now covers almost three quarters of it and it goes around and inside my ears. lately, these last two weeks, for some reason it 'left' my scalp and I have small lesions that look like guttate on my arms and neck and a larger lesion in my right armpit. It has never left the scalp before and it's going pretty fast for me.

Hey Everyone
I am a new member and I don’t have psoriasis my husband does on the body. We have been trying to find things that work for years and years and we have tried creams from the doctor from the internet and tv and finally we found a natural way that seems to be helping a lot. We started with dead sea salt. I found this place in Mississauga called Salt Cave and they gave us a piece of salt from the Dead Sea to apply on the spots. That helped a lot but my husband said it gets too dry so we applied cat’s claw liquid extract after. So we apply dead sea salt to the dry spots wait about 2 hours and then we wash it off and apply cats claw and it's WORKING!!! I also bought shark liver oil to take in the morning to take care of psoriasis from inside. I hope that it may work for some of you as well. Cat’s claw and shark liver oil can be bought at any health store and I’m sure that if you call Salt Cave in Mississauga they will have the dead sea salt for sale. Karolina

Tous les produits à base de goudron me dérangent à cause de leurs mauvaises odeurs. En public c'est plus grave, car en plus d'avoir l'air bizarre, ça sent mauvais.
