Scalp psoriasis is a skin complaint characterized by red inflammed lesions on the scalp covered with silvery white scales. Scalp psoriasis is a fairly common skin complaint. The exact reason behind scalp psoriasis is yet not cleared. However, it is considered to be a disorder of autoimmune origin. Homeopathic medicines for scalp psoriasis don’t suppress the complaint and follow a curative approach. 
In scalp psoriasis, due to a misdirected immune response, the cells of skin start to grow at a very quick pace (in day’s time instead of a few weeks). The body remains unable to shed these excessive cells which tend to pile up on the skin surface forming thick scaly patches. A person having a family history of psoriasis is at risk to get it too. Injury to scalp, smoking, and stress are a few factors that raise the risk of scalp psoriasis. These similar factors are also linked to worsening of scalp psoriasis.
Homeopathic Medicines for Scalp Psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis can be treated wonderfully with homeopathy. They are mild, safe remedies that treat scalp psoriasis gently with zero side effects. They moderate the immune system of the body thus preventing quick multiplication of the skin cells and bringing excellent recoveries in case of scalp psoriasis. With their use, the redness, inflammation, and scales on the scalp get reduced markedly. The psoriatic patches tend to heal and its further spread is well controlled. Itching, burning on the scalp and associated hair fall also gets managed with them in a magnificent way. Homeopathy for scalp psoriasis are selected individually for every case of scalp psoriasis as per constitution of person to yield best results. Arsenic Album, Arsenic Iodatum, Graphites, Sepia, Natrum Mur, Sulphur, and Petroleum are the top remedies to treat the condition.

I am affected from scalp psoriasis since 4 year
Hi,
I am suffering from Scalp Psoriasis since last 8 years. I have used Clobederm S Lotion with olive oil many times to suppress the problem but it re-appears time to time and in Winter it becomes severe. I have found your topic very informative. From other literatures on internet about this issue, I had selected 3 medicines for my problem :
1. Graphites 30
2. Sulphur 30
3. Mezereum 30
I am taking 3 drops of each 3 times a day. I am taking these drops directly in mouth under tongue. Am I doing right to take these medicines this way? Further please let me know if this combination is good for me.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards
Tanveer
