I highly recommend Pentrax 5% Coal Tar Shampoo for psoriasis of the scalp. I've used products like Neutrogena's T-Gel and saw no or minimal results, but the Pentrax shampoo has a greater concentration of coal tar (5% versus T-Gel's .5 %) and has helped me greatly. Pentrax shampoo seems to be available in fewer retail locations, but I found a price-competive site operated by a dermatologist that does stock and sell it. That site is [url]www.dermadoctor.com[/url] I haven't used the site as yet, but it appears to be quite authoritative on the skin disease, and has a high customer satisfaction ranking. Other psoriasis treatments for the scalp, such as P & S Liquid are sold there. I remember that my mother, who was a major psoriasis sufferer, found great benefit from using P & S. It seems that a lot of the chain drug stores fail to carry such products and the old mom and pop drug stores that did have long disappeared.
