I use Head and Shoulders Bare shampoo daily. My dermatologist prescribed Derma Smooth topical for my scalp. I use N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC 600 mg twice per day) supplement to control the itching. I use the NAC in conjunction with OTC Zyrtec. Some people use Allegra.
Lorena , my dermatologist prescribed me Clobetasol and it felt like bugs crawling on my head, I stopped using it, I think because it was a steroid shampoo but, it might be good for someone else. Hope you find something that helps.
Hi Shawn! I'm happy to read that Head and Shoulders Bare worked for you!!!
Cathy, thank you so much for sharing this information about Head and Shoulders Bare shampoo. I tried the serum between shampoos and it was marvelous. For the first time in 1 year I actually have clean hair. This stuff is gold in my eyes.
Hi Trudy! There is an article on this website about PN and the scalp. I have found it to be helpful and informative. It discusses shampoos that are helpful in treating PN. I have been using Head and Shoulders Bare shampoo (no added ingredients) and I have found it to be quite helpful. When I am having a flare, I have prescription Derma Smooth that I apply at bedtime. Both of these products have helped me tremendously.
