Hair thinning and scalp psoriasis

[Kat]

I’ve had scalp psoriasis in the past, around the hairline above my neck. I think it can mess about with how the hair grows but as it was underneath rather than in a more visible place I didn’t notice hair thinning.
Hair can also thin in response to some medications.
I think my hair comes out more readily in recent times, lots of strands after I wash it - as you say it could be age.

I found a particular shampoo really useful with the scalp psoriasis - it was oilatum shampoo. (Is it ok to name it?) I don’t know what it had in it but it really helped clear mine up.

I think it's fine to name, we name lots of creams and treatments, just can't promote it for sale or link to a website, etc.

Most of my psoriasis is the lower part of my head. Most of the scratching is in that area too. I don't have any bald spots or anything, just losing a lot of hair lately and my hair is thinner.

I can find Oilatum cream but not shampoo. I'll keep looking.
