What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an inflammatory disorder of the epidermis cells. The condition often alternates between periods of remission and of flare ups, where symptoms become more severe.
What does scalp psoriasis look like?
Scalp psoriasis causes the formation of scaly, discolored plaques on the scalp and on the skin around it. The patches can cause uncomfortable itching on the head which can result in dandruff-like flaking.
How to treat scalp Psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis can be effectively treated through a customised approach that may include the use of medicated shampoos or reducing creams prescribed by a dermatologist.
Our approach to alleviating skin manifestations such as redness and itching related to Psoriasis on the scalp:
- In the evening, apply 2S Cream with plenty of massage.
- In the morning, wash the hair using Dermictiol Shampoo without rubbing it into the scalp. Forcibly removing the plaques creates further inflammation and renews the formation of the plaque itself.
How to remove stratum corneum thickenings?
If the thickenings are very tight, proceed as follows:
- In the morning, massage a large amount of Extreme Emollient Ointment across the whole scalp and leave it on all day.
- In the evening, without washing the Extreme Emollient Ointment off, massage 2S Cream onto the whole scalp.
- The following morning, wash the scalp and hair with Dermictiol Shampoo. This promotes the softening and detachment of thickenings.
Do this treatment during a non-working day or over the weekend, to avoid any aesthetic discomfort related to the application and layering of products on the hair.
