What shampoo do you suggest for scalp psoriasis?

Treatment for scalp psoriasis can range from oils to ointments, but basic care can also start in the shower with the shampoo you use. Does anyone have any recommendations for shampoos?

  1. For a treatment shampoo I like Polytar, although they have changed the formula (surprise, surprise) and I don't like it as much as I used to. It does smell better than it used to though! I probably use this once a month at the moment.

    For my regular shampoo the main thing that's important to me is that it doesn't contain SLS. I find SLS makes my scalp so itchy and flaky. Currently I'm using the coconut water shampoo by OGX.

    1. The best I have found thus far is unfortunately expensive and as far as I know, not sold in stores. My Derm sold it to me. It's from France. DUCRAY- KERTYOL P.S.O.
