Vitamin D capsules monthly and quitting my stressful job have kept me psoriasis free for 5 years. Before that a 40 year continual struggle with it.

Does anyone have a good alternative for t gel shampoo?
It was the only thing that worked for me and since they discontinued it , I've been struggling. I've tried nearly every alternative under the sun. Currently trying capasal as my pharmacist recommend but it has a lower coal tar percentage so don't think it's going to be as effective. Any help would be good though !
Otherwise will have to try and get something stronger prescribed from drs

When I had a flare up last year I used healpsorin shampoo and conditioner and found it worked really well. You can buy on Amazon. I’ve routinely been using Phil Smith clarifying shampoo and conditioner a couple of times a week and that’s also been excellent at removing anything that may irritate the scalp.
They all make your hair feels nice and don’t stink which is a bonus!
Thank you! I will take a look at those
The only thing that leaves my hair feeling remotely OK now is ketoconazole. I'm allergic to salicyclates, so most of the remaining products are out of the question and the GP looked at me as though I'd asked for the ingredients to set up a home meth lab when I asked about enstilar or exorex. It's not a perfect solution and oh, THE BURNING ITCH without Psoriderm or T-Gel, but I can just about batter through most of the time with it & Eucerin Dermocapillaire lotion.
Baths and showers are so much harder now without Psoriderm. One bath a week with hibiclens makes sure nothing gets infected or colonised, QV gentle wash is OK for showers, but I do wonder how many times I can say 'but I don't need it covered with paraffin, I need it to stop itching and burning so I don't just scratch my way through a layer of paraffin when I'm asleep'.

Yours sounds alot worse than mine sadly
but I had a look up ketoconazole and nizoral came up which I have tried before to no avail!I think the capasal is doing something so I think it must definitely be the coal tar that works for me. Just need to try and find a stronger product!
