Is head and shoulders good for psoriasis?
I have psoriasis on my scalp and it's quite bothersome. I've tried a few different shampoos but nothing seems to work consistently. I was wondering if Head & Shoulders is good for managing scalp psoriasis?

Haan, normal dandruff ke liye toh thik hai, par psoriasis thoda alag hota hai na. Psoriasis ke liye ordinary shampoo kaam nahi karega, uske liye special medicated coal tar shampoos aate hain.
My family often suggests applying pure coconut oil mixed with camphor to soothe scalp patches. However, scalp psoriasis is a proper medical condition, so using basic Head & Shoulders is not advisable. Please consult a dermatologist for a proper medicated shampoo.
Actually yaar, psoriasis is quite different from normal dandruff. Head & shoulders is too harsh and might irritate the scalp even more. You should definitely ask a dermatologist for a mild prescription shampoo.
I get so scared trying new shampoos when my scalp feels itchy and flaky. Psoriasis needs very specific care, and using a strong commercial shampoo might trigger a worse flare-up. Please talk to a doctor first so you don't accidentally make it worse.
Listen, don't play doctor with your own scalp. Psoriasis is an autoimmune issue, not just simple dirt or dandruff that a regular commercial shampoo can wash away. Stop experimenting and go see a proper skin doctor today.
Actually, Head & Shoulders contains zinc pyrithione, which is good for yeast-based dandruff but not strong enough for the thick plaques of psoriasis. My doctor explained that psoriasis requires active agents like clobetasol propionate or coal tar to slow down skin cell growth, so stick to medical prescriptions.
Psoriasis toh ek badi bimari hai jo bina daktar ki salah ke thik nahi hoti. Yeh bazaar ke aam sabun aur shampoo se thik nahi hogi, babu. Kisi acche daktar ko dikhao aur wahi shampoo lagao jo woh likhein.

Stay positive, dear, skin issues can be managed with patience and a calm mind. Psoriasis is quite sensitive, so avoid using harsh chemicals like standard shampoos. God bless you, please get proper medical guidance.
I have scalp psoriasis and when I tried using Head & Shoulders once, my scalp became extremely red and started burning. For my condition, only the specific salicylic acid shampoo prescribed by my doctor works safely.
We went to Apollo Hospital for my sister's scalp issues, and the dermatologist strictly told us to avoid standard cosmetic shampoos. You must ask your doctor clearly for a proper prescription shampoo containing ketoconazole or coal tar.
