Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients help with psoriasis?
Salicylic acid (keratolytic — removes scale), coal tar (slows skin cell turnover), urea (softens thick plaques), and ceramide-rich emollients (repairs barrier) are the most evidence-backed OTC ingredients. Prescription corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues are used for moderate-to-severe cases.
Can psoriasis be cured?
Psoriasis has no permanent cure, but it can be effectively managed with the right topical routine and, where needed, systemic treatment under a dermatologist's supervision. Consistent moisturisation and trigger avoidance significantly reduce flare frequency.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition — it is not infectious or contagious in any way.
Which shampoo is best for scalp psoriasis in Pakistan?
Coal tar shampoos (e.g., T/Gel by Neutrogena) and ketoconazole-based shampoos are commonly recommended. For severe scalp involvement, a dermatologist may prescribe a medicated scalp solution.
