Psoriasis scalp foam

rspcpa posted:

I have psoriasis on my scalp which tends to be worse in the winter and is also triggered by stress. The foam works great on my scalp but makes my hair feel gross when the foam dries. How long after applying the foam is it okay for me to wash my hair without washing off the foam too?

Hello. I suggest that you should apply the foam to the Scalp trying to avoid the Hair. I have this difficulty too: my hair is thick and although i cut it short it is still an effort to apply the ointment (i use champori anti-psoriasis cream for my scalp psoriasis). Normally I wash it off after 3-4 hours and often I put it on for the duration of the night as well.

There is an awesome product out there with tea tree oil in in that works really good for psoriasis. I would highly recommend their shampoo.
