Hi,
I just found out today that i have scalp psoriasis. Its pretty bad and I was trying to find out if it usually stays on the scalp or spreads all over. Thanks guys. I'm feeling kind of down today.

also, i was prescribed Olux foam and I was wondering if you guys could tell me how effective it is. Thanks.

Hey there, this is gonna be short since im in skool...but i would love to help. I am 13, and i have had scalp p since last year..or i was diagnosed last year. i have had p since i was 9. but anyway....i use Dermsmooth, <333 works mericals for me. when im not doing that im doing t-gel once 2 twice a week,and head n' sholders, t'sal stuff like that.
olux is good...stings, i use the luxiq which is just less of a steroid. i would go with some kinda shampoo too. next time u see ur derm ask for dermasmooth. i gotta go, srry. how old are u an where aer u from?ttyl.

thanks photochick, my name is vik by the way.
i'm from maryland but i go to college in philadelphia.
when you use the shampoo and medicine does it help keep it from flaring up? and will the color of my scalp go back to normal? Sorry for all of the questions, but i'm kinda scared about it.

Hey, no problem if it were not for my mom having it too i would be lost. when i use the shampoo most of the time keeps it under control. its different for everyone. and if u can get it under control it will go back to normal color. I gotta go, im after skool doing some work for yearbook.

Hey, Brad's mom here. Brad's face has cleared up, we don't know why. He really stopped doing all the meds except the otc moisturizers. Body slowed down quite a bit, mostly on lower back now, using Desitin when I can get him to. Problem for him right now is the flakiness in the scalp. Was using Ttree - he said he hadn't used it in a couple days and was using regular shampoo (can't force him to do anthing these days) but does anyone know how to get the sticky flakes out of his hair. He showers in the morning and tries to comb it out, blow dry it out, nothing works.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sorry Vik, my son is 13 and his P started with scalp. Just itchy, scabby, dry spots at first and then it got much worse. Went to hairline then ears. Then just kept on going.
What you'll learn here is that everyone has different symptoms, different successess. At first when I would read the sites I would freak out over everything, or get excited about something, and now I realize that you try what you can, and pray alot.
Great group of folks on here. Really is like family. Specially on those rough days when you feel alone.
God bless you!
