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?
