I have PN on my scalp. My dermatologist injected the nodules with a small dose of kenalog. I went every 6 weeks for injections. That’s been going on for 2 years. The nodules have gone away but still have LSC from all the scratching. Last time I was there she told me to switch my shampoo to Neutrogena- T Sal.. It seems to be helping.
Donna, whatever helps us deal with PN, do it. I see that with this condition one size does not fit all. My dermatologist informed me that there are many options for treatment; it's a matter of what products or medications work for you. While frustrating, when something heals our skin, it's a yippee moment! Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Erin! I have PN on my scalp too. I use Head and Shoulders Bare( no additives) , Dove shower soap for sensitive skin, Lubriderm Advanced for dry, itchy skin, and CeraVe Hydration for my face. The dermatologist prescribed Derma Smooth for flares on my scalp, Clobetesol 0.05% for flares on my skin, and N-Acetyl-Cysteine supplement for the itching. So far,I've been somewhat stable with periodic flares. I hope this information helps you.
Several treatment options can help heal scalp sores and provide relief. Over-the-counter shampoos with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0 can be beneficial. Many MyPrurigoTeam members have found success with dry scalp shampoos from brands like Dove and Head & Shoulders.
