I've been diagnosed with scalp psoriasis, and I'm seeing some dry red patches. My doctor prescribed some ointments and vitamin tablets, but I've kind of forgotten what exactly I'm supposed to do. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Momate S cream on my scalp because it's really dry and patchy. Could you offer some advice on this?

I'm dealing with scalp psoriasis and my dermatologist recommended I use Halox S lotion. I'm a bit confused about the right order of things. Should I be shampooing my hair before I put on the lotion, or is it better to shampoo after rinsing the lotion out?

Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.
