Listerine for Scalp

[Capybara]

I've posted before about my scalp problems. I have psoriasis, and it's hardest to treat on my scalp. I have had prescription creams, tgel shampoo, and ACV rinses help, but the problem always seemed to come back.

Anyways, I recently saw a video pop up on my feed on YouTube. A girl demonstrated how to fight dandruff using Listerine. I decided to give it a shot.

I know we are supposed to wait 6 weeks before deciding whether something works for us or not, so I'm going to keep tracking this. Right now, after one week, I can honestly say that my scalp is more flake-free than I can ever remember it being. I am pleased.

My routine:

Spray a few tablespoons of original Listerine (it's the yellow one) on scalp. Concentrate on problem areas. Make sure to avoid hair as much as possible, because Listerine contains alcohol.

Massage the Listerine into the scalp. If any area needs more, spray until its all evenly covered. Again, avoid hair as much as possible.

Twist hair up into a top knot and wait 20-30 minutes.

Rinse upside down, while holding the length out of the way, for 3 mins. I do this so the alcohol has even less chance of contacting my length.

Wash as usual. (lately, I've been using Tresemme naturals, but the shampoo/conditioner shouldn't make a difference.)

I do notice a minty fragrance afterwards. It goes away in a few hours. When my scalp is soaking in the Listerine, the alcohol/mint is very strong, but I am not bothered by it. It also does sting/tingle a bit on any areas of broken skin, but overall is really relaxing. I think mint is good for calming your nerves

Anyways, I just wanted to post this, just in case anyone has any tips (is it safe?) or if anyone else wants to try. Hope it helps someone like it helped me!
