Question

How do I use medication for scalp psoriasis?

Answer 1

To apply scalp psoriasis medication:

• Put petroleum jelly on cotton balls and put them into your ears to keep medications out.
• Use medications sparingly. They may cause skin irritation and can weaken hair shafts, causing temporary hair loss.
• With an oil or lotion, part your hair and drip the medication onto your scalp.
• With a cream or ointment, rub it right into your scalp.
• Covering your scalp with a shower cap for a short period of time may help some medications work better, but check with your doctor first.
