Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have flaky skin on my scalp. My doctor told me it is sebopsoriasis. The flaking is limited to the scalp, and my doctor has prescribed Folitrax 5 mg and Aprezo 30 mg. I am having this problem for about four to five years. I am able to control flaking in the scalp by washing with shampoo but, it reoccurs after a day with hair loss. Can it be controlled? Or can it spread to other parts of the body?

Answered by Dr. Shanza Ikram

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the query. Yes, it can be controlled with medications. But, unfortunately, you may experience frequent exacerbations due to stress or steroids or specific medicine or due to a sore throat. Mix one part of Betamethasone lotion with two part of an olive oil and apply it on the night. Do it three times a week and wash it in the morning.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
