I was dealing with flaking in my scalp for over a year thinking it’s dandruff. I used dandruff shampoo but they didn’t stop it. My hairdresser finally convinced me to go to my doctor. She prescribed a dandruff shampoo also and after going through 2 of them it didn’t solve the problem. I finally insisted to be referred to a dermatologist. She prescribed a solution to rub on the affected areas of my scalp every morning along with using the shampoo. Within a week the flaking stopped. She insisted that I use up the solution and shampoo, because it may come back if I stop all of a sudden. I do have eczema on my skin but have never had scalp issues until now. So glad I went to my dermatologist and I didn’t just rely on the shampoo from my doctor.
Happy Thursday Dr Dray…I had psoriasis all over my face,scalp and all my joint! It was horrible I felt very ugly but my doctor put me on Stelara Injections which I have every 12 weeks…I am psoriasis free not one bit on my body! It helps with my arthritis…see you tomorrow X💙🤩
Thank you for this video! I found flakes and a scratchy area on my daughter’s scalp earlier this year. I feel terrible I didn’t see it earlier, but she has the THICKEST Greek and Italian hair (her hair is easily three times thicker than mine, and I have good hair). I have started using dandruff shampoo and just ordered a scalp serum from Bindi Boost. I wanted to try the Vichy scalp serum, but it is almost $50 💀 Edit: after watching the video, I feel like my daughter may have scalp psoriasis, which I was already leaning to because of the scratchy red area on her scalp. This video was so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for talking about the different skin tones and what to look for in this video. So often this is overlooked. I really appreciate it. Love your videos!
Hey Dr. Dray, thanks a bunch! You were incredibly helpful. I've experienced almost everything you discussed with psoriasis, and now I feel much more confident managing it. Plus, this comment section was really reassuring and supportive! Sunscreen and subscribe ❤ :)
I have scalp psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.. I always had an itchy patch and even if i didn't scratch it the flakes would be all over my clothes. But the skin condition isn't half as bad as the arthritis. Arthritis is the WORST! I've had psoriatic arthritis since I was in highschool and now I am 32.. so almost 15 years now of chronic pain.
Thank you, thank you for this information! You've explained it thoroughly and have explained most, if not all, of my symptoms (psoriasis). I appreciate your channel.
Thanks for the video! I've noticed I get a ton of scabs on the back of my head and always wondered what might be the cause, didn't think it was dandruff but wasn't sure what it could be. After watching the video, I feel like this it may just be scalp psoriasis. My dad has a ton of psoriasis all over his body, so it never occurred to me before this video that it was possible for it to just on the scalp!
Thank you. I have scalp psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. It is a very painful condition. I’ve tried several medications but so far nothing helping and side effects are worse than the arthritis. It’s very discouraging. 😢
My mom had psoriasis...it appeared in her 30's after sitting out in the sun to get a suntan...her father had it & so I guess it was genetic....she developed psoriatic arthritis in her later years...both her skin condition & arthritis were devastating for her throughout her 80+ years of her life...people thought she was contagious...it was such a burden for her to endure😢 Ironically, sun exposure & a sunlamp helped her skin condition....but it was still such a terrible time for her. She also used various medical creams & such rx'd by her skin doctor but her condition remained an unfortunate problem for her...I pray that a better therapy will be discovered soon for those who are presently suffering...🙏😕
Dr. Dray, can you please talk about pressure sores from cpap machines on the scalp. I cannot find a mask that fits properly and won't stop getting them. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks, for many years I’ve used Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother twice a day as looking into the causes, gut health could be a factor. I have noticed a marked improvement and less flare ups.
I've been using a few anti-dandruff shampoos and none have done good enough of a job unfortunately (my derm thinks it's dandruff though). Really hope to get rid of it soon...
OMG. I just realized I got psoriasis on my scalp years few ago... I had suspicions but never got to doctor to confirm and now it is gone.... My sister has psoriasis but on her elbols. It comes and goes...
I had something for almost 20 years. It moved around on my scalp and sometimes would be completely gone. I suspected Psoriasis. Three doctors visits and no progress. I just lived with it. Then I got a wet sauna. Three days of usage and it was pretty much gone and has not come back. on average, I use the steam sauna 13 out of 14 days in a row. I suspect if I were to stop the sauna usage, it would come back.
I have scalp psoriasis and dandruff. The dandruff comes on day 3 of hair wash due to natural oils... however the dandruff psoriasis becomes worse with overdrying the scalp
Hello Dr Dray, I have been seeing multiple videos on tiktok speaking about Candida also causing buildup, among other symptoms. (Of course there are products they promote to help) what can you tell us about Candida and its relationship to scalp health? Are there actual remedies and what type of doctors can help treat this? Thank you so much, I did research and found many of what look like fake medicines and would like to ask someone trustworthy!
Hi Dr Dray :) I have been a long time user of Differin (4 years) with great success. After some stress around my health and taking biotin supplements that I shouldn’t have, I started really overproducing oil for the first time in years. I backed off the differin for a couple weeks thinking that I had broken the skin barrier but oil production only increased. I’ve reintroduced it for the last 2 weeks every 3 days AND sandwiching it to be super gentle. but still as oily as ever. will i get my differin progress back? i cant figure out why im so oily for the first time in years :( i loved differin and hoping it will correct itself
My daughter has dandruff and because she has psoriasis, we assumed she had psoriasis on her head, but she doesn’t. So I tried a dove dandruff shampoo and conditioner. No more dandruff. Head and shoulders does have a good dandruff shampoo/conditioner, but I prefer dove dandruff
Can tropical minoxidil and finasteride using on head causes facial hair growth on femal! And is the facial growth permanent? Please response because I am suffering from this issue 😢 please!
Doc, my facial skin is abnormally stretchy. I've seen somewhere that this means I'm prone to sun damage. Is that true and why am I the only one like this in my family?
@KhubaibAndain you might want to speak with your doctor about a condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. There are a few types but one of the diagnostic criteria can be unusually stretchy skin. Look this up online for much more.
The only thing that helps me is the Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength Dandruff Defense Dry Scalp Rescue Shampoo in the dark blue bottle. It has 1% Selenium Sulfide. They have a few different scents and for different uses, and I get the Manuka Honey infused one.
Dr Dray, other derms and hair stylists have said yes, especially if you use styling products, have oily hair/scalp, seb derm, deal with hard water, etc.
Can you give yourself Psoriasis? I unfortunately unknowingly was using expired rogaine 🤦🏼♀️ and now Ive been dealing with a patch of scaly and flaky skin on my scalp, that I’ve had for months that will not go away not to mention all the hair growth I achieved in that area is now gone 😩
No, you didn't give yourself psoriasis but the Rogaine might have caused irritation which triggered the rash of psoriasis to appear. You were probably carrying psoriasis in your genes and it finally appeared. Whenever you discontinue Rogaine the hair you grow will fall out.
@ yeah I’m more worried about the hair that was originally there that’s now gone. The regrowth from the rogaine was pretty minimal. Currently using coal tar shampoo so hopefully after using it for a bit my scalp will heal

Happy Thursday Dr Dray! I moved to Australia yesterday and the sun is intense. Lots of sunscreen 🎉
Morning!

But the skin condition isn't half as bad as the arthritis. Arthritis is the WORST! I've had psoriatic arthritis since I was in highschool and now I am 32.. so almost 15 years now of chronic pain.
That’s terrible! I didn’t know it could start so young.
I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis at 19. In 46 now. Hopefully you can see a dr and get some relief. Cosentix is really amazing.
Happy Thursday, Dr. Dray❤
Morning!
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n Yesss this Vid is Gonna b so Informative🔥n Happy Thursday😀n Thank u👍….

Thank you! I haven’t known the difference in the 67 years that I had a prescription for Selsun!

Newest one is helping my teen son it's like a miracle cream he was prescribed Zorayve cream started to work in about a week applied once daily
Dr. Dray, please review ALDI’s LACURA skin care products too! Thanks! Happy 2025!🥂
How do you know so much? Amazing! 💜💜💜
Dr. Dray, can you please talk about pressure sores from cpap machines on the scalp. I cannot find a mask that fits properly and won't stop getting them. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks - timely as I am pretty sure my very itchy scalp (only between my ears and lower) is psoriasis.
thanks for watching
I have scalp psoriatis and I also have psoriatic arthritis. The arthritis has affected my hands, elbows, knees, feet and spine.
Any advice for seborrheic dermatitis??

Is there any creams you can put on your scalp to help with psoriasis?
My son uses nizoral shampoo for psoriasis and that helps a lot
Coal tar creams
There are medications that a doctor would prescribe for scalp use.
@ I’ve been using coal tar shampoo, I was unaware there were creams also. Thanks!
@sharifshabbir might as well use coal tar shampoo not cream or nizoral shampoo
OMG. I just realized I got psoriasis on my scalp years few ago... I had suspicions but never got to doctor to confirm and now it is gone.... My sister has psoriasis but on her elbols. It comes and goes...
Thanks for sharing the good bad & the ugly truth about dandruff & psoriasis 🫣🫡🙀✌️

Can you have eczema on your head?

Even in thought psoriasis scares me 😮.
Thanks for this. I have been to derms and tried ketoconazole, coal tar, zinc pyrithione + sal acid, but nothing works for me.
thanks for watching
My daughter has dandruff and because she has psoriasis, we assumed she had psoriasis on her head, but she doesn’t. So I tried a dove dandruff shampoo and conditioner. No more dandruff. Head and shoulders does have a good dandruff shampoo/conditioner, but I prefer dove dandruff
Selenium sulfide worked the best for me. My derm had me wash once and then lather it again and leave it on for a few mins in the shower.
What about just a dry scalp ?
Can tropical minoxidil and finasteride using on head causes facial hair growth on femal! And is the facial growth permanent?
Please response because I am suffering from this issue 😢 please!
Happy Thursday all
thanks for watching

@KhubaibAndain you might want to speak with your doctor about a condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. There are a few types but one of the diagnostic criteria can be unusually stretchy skin. Look this up online for much more.
I have scales that can sting.
The only thing that helps me is the Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength Dandruff Defense Dry Scalp Rescue Shampoo in the dark blue bottle. It has 1% Selenium Sulfide. They have a few different scents and for different uses, and I get the Manuka Honey infused one.
Is it good to use a scalp exfoliant for sebum buildup on the scalp or a clarifying shampoo occasionally
Dr Dray, other derms and hair stylists have said yes, especially if you use styling products, have oily hair/scalp, seb derm, deal with hard water, etc.
Is dandruff contagious? If I sleep in the same pillow from someone that has dandruff, can I catch it?
No, it's not contagious according to different medical sites.
Can you give yourself Psoriasis? I unfortunately unknowingly was using expired rogaine 🤦🏼♀️ and now Ive been dealing with a patch of scaly and flaky skin on my scalp, that I’ve had for months that will not go away not to mention all the hair growth I achieved in that area is now gone 😩

Please, please, _please_ get whatever that is with your sinuses fixed, your voice is ridiculously nasal and grating.
