    T-gel shampoo or Johnsons baby shampoo
    My ex had psorisis really bad and these were the best,
    He tried everything

    t-gel. but be careful w/ t-gel.

    also, make an appointment w/your G.P. He’ll know best.

    .Try Nizoral I heard that it is the best you can buy w/o script.

    My son has had this problem for some time. Recently started him on the Baby Vicks treatment, at night. It’s one of those home remedies someone passed on to me. It’s too early to report it as a cure…..for him. But maybe….

    Couple of things to try, I use Betnovate lotion rubbed into my scalp before I go to bed, keeps it quite under control. The best thing I found when I was younger was baby oil, sounds weird I know but rubbing baby oil into my scalp before I went to bed did work wonders, obviously you’ll need to wash hair thoroughly in the morning(maybe even twice). I would also recommend a shampoo called Alphosyl(think you can still buy it in boots), other shampoos to try include T Gel and Johnsons No More Tears(yellow bottle). One of these should help(I have learnt from experience!)
