Hi., As you said you suffer from psoriasis. I would like to say few things about psoriasis.... Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing and autoimmune disease. There may be having scaly plaques on various parts of the body, scaly lesions on the scalp. Exact cause is not known. Genetic tendency, autoimmunity, stress, Chat Doctor.  .etc. may be responsible for precipitation and exacerbation of psoriasis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. I recommend following treatment in my patients.- tab methotrexate 15 mg per week in three decided doses at 12 hours.-cap accretion 10 mg daily - antihistamines like desloratidine once a day-You may apply mild steroid cream or calcitriol point on the lesions on the psoriasis lesions. You may apply moisturizer to improve the skin texture. You should avoid soap bath for few weeks. And you should be free of stress and worries as that might worsen psoriasis. You might get good result. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.
