Abstract

Many people suffer from scalp psoriasis. While the cause of this condition is not known, there is effective treatment. With well-planned therapy and patient compliance, scalp lesions can be controlled. Useful agents include coal tar shampoos and preparations, keratolytics and topical corticosteroids. Systemic agents are almost never indicated for scalp psoriasis alone.
