From hair loss to dandruff, scalp problems of any sort are distressing to anyone suffering from them.
But according to Allure Magazine, scalp psoriasis is a chart-topper for both pain and inconvenience.
Scalp psoriasis is a common condition characterized by thick, red scaly patches of skin that can cover the entire scalp and be chronic.
It's often treated with oils, steroid solutions, and even ointments. However, basic care for it starts with the shampoo you use.
Dermatologist Dr. Sejal Shah says sufferers should use a shampoo comprised of ingredients such as salicylic acid and coal tar.
Coal tar is a by-product of the production of coke and coal gas from coal. It's used in medications to treat psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
It may sound scary, but dermatologists say it significantly helps to slow down the rapid growth of skin cells while reducing inflammation.
