So, I have had severe scalp psoriasis for about 5 years. If any of you have plaque psoriasis, you know how long of a time that is. For a long time, it was misdiagnosed, so I have only recently (in the last year and half) been given a treatment for it. But, that treatment burns, and makes me cry. It is alcohol based, so that way it will dry and not make the scalp oily, but it hurts so bad. There has got to be a way to battle this without hurting myself. I am sick of having thinning hair, dead skin in my hair, and having it visible to everyone else (it has crept out of my hairline). Does anyone have any thing that has worked for their psoriasis? I come to you guys as a cry for help, I'm sick of the pain of raw skin, the itching, the nagging from my boyfriend and mother to quit scratching, and the embarrassing flaking and visible raw spots.
