Psoriasis is a skin allergy which affects many people around the world. Scalp psoriasis is a condition where there are rashes, patches on the scalp of the head.
This may be itchy, burning and painful. Some may bleed or ooze out some fluids out of the rashes if it is scratched. Let us see some simple home remedies for scalp psoriasis which may help in reducing the symptoms and the rashes.
Cold water is the best possible and cheap remedy ever used since years for scalp psoriasis. This helps to reduce the burning and the itching sensation. This also helps to remove the dead cells on the scalp and prevents the occurrence of dry scalp and dandruff. Another scientific basis is that cold water application contracts the superficial layer and constricts the internal layers.
This improves the internal blood circulation and so fresh blood with a good number of WBCs are pulled onto the affected area. All these occur in the action phase that is when the cold water is applied. After application, now the Blood cells which are pulled reach the surface and starts killing the foreign agents which are responsible for the rashes. Cold packs, ice baths everything have the same effect.
The water, which is used for washing the rice should be collected. This has much amount of minerals and vitamins in it which will help in the scalp psoriasis. After washing with rice water, the scalp should be exposed to the morning sun, which is very effective. The water, which is collected while straining the boiled rice can should be collected and this can be applied to the head after bathing. This can be left for about 5 minutes and then washed off. This helps in good conditioning of the scalp and the hair.
Neem oil is already a good and potent antiseptic substance. When neem oil is warmed and applied to the scalp it activates the area of the scalp, opens the pores on the scalp and lets the neem oil reach the surface of the scalp. This when continuously done for atleast 15 days considerable changes can be seen.
Alternatively neem leaves paste can also be applied to the scalp and let it dry for 30 minutes under the morning sun and wash it with cold water. Neem effectively kills the bacteria that is responsible t=for the infection.

Alternative Treatments For Psoriasis
This is the most effective, but a scary one practiced by hard core practitioners. There are no side-effects, but people generally fear of applying pepper or cloves onto the scalp thinking about its irritating quality. Make a paste of pepper and cloves and apply directly to the scalp. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and then wash with cold running water. This effectively removes the patches, itching sensation and pain associated with it.
Vinegar is commonly used in cooking. It is available in all kitchens. As this has the astringent properties this can be very effective in the case of the scalp psoriasis. Vinegar mixed with warm water in the ratio of 1:3, should be taken. A towel should be dipped in this solution and wrapped on the head for about 30 minutes and then washed with cold water.

God bless you for these - my scalp drives me crazy!!! Also, it's embarrassing to go to a hair salon with it, have cut/layered my own hair the past 20 years.
I used to suffer from psoriasis for about 15 years so I have tried every single cream & ointment there is. Unfortunately almost every cream had little effect at all but thankfully I was actually able to completely cure my psoriasis after my cousin told me how she cured hers. I only had to do 2 things:
1. Use a humidifier in your house. This will add moisture to the air and to your skin without you knowing.
2. Follow every step in the free video & guide seen at
curehealthproblem*com/psoriasis
Try those two steps and hopefully you will get as much luck with getting rid of psoriasis as i did. Just remember psoriasis does not have to be a permanent problem, creams may slightly ease symptoms occasionally (as does fish oil capsules) but you really need to tackle the root cause.
Can you plz send the link
As others had mentioned, overall smell of dermalmd psoriasis serum is a little off putting. I am not through the bottle yet, but I see a slight improvement. so I tried this because others used it for psoriasis.
