Psoriasis Treatments

Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo has been discontinued in the United States and the UK. If you've been using it for years to manage scalp or body psoriasis, this guide explains what happened, why coal tar itself is not the problem, and which alternatives are worth considering.

Coal tar is one of the oldest and most validated OTC treatments for psoriasis. But Nopsor, MG217, and T/Gel take very different approaches — different concentrations, different delivery systems, different goals. This guide compares them honestly so you can decide which approach fits your situation.

Topical corticosteroids are the most prescribed psoriasis treatment in the world. They work fast — which is exactly why so many people use them longer than they should. Understanding what steroids can and can't do changes how you use them.

For mild to moderate scalp psoriasis, over-the-counter products are often sufficient — if you know which active ingredients to look for and how to use them correctly. This guide covers what works, what doesn't, and how to build a simple scalp routine.

Most guides on home remedies for scalp psoriasis list what to use. This one focuses on how to use them correctly — the technique, timing, and combinations that make the difference between a remedy that helps and one that irritates or does nothing.

Scalp psoriasis affects at least half of people with plaque psoriasis. This complete guide covers causes, symptoms, how to tell it apart from dandruff, proven treatments, and the home remedies that actually help — written for real life, not a textbook.

Sprays and foams are delivery formats — not treatment categories. What a spray does for your psoriasis depends entirely on which active ingredient it contains. This guide explains what makes spray and foam formats useful, what to look for on the label, and how they fit alongside your existing routine.

The wrong body wash strips your skin barrier and worsens psoriasis. The right one supports it. This guide covers which ingredients to look for, which to avoid, how to read a label, and how your shower routine affects your skin as much as the products you use.

Facial psoriasis requires a different approach than psoriasis on the body — the skin is thinner, more reactive, and constantly exposed. The active ingredient concentrations, product formats, and daily habits that work on the body can be too harsh for the face. Here's what changes and what stays the same.

Bath soaks don't treat psoriasis, but used correctly they make a real difference to how the skin feels and how well other treatments work. Here's what each type of soak actually does, how to prepare it correctly, and the mistakes that turn a helpful routine into one that makes things worse.

Coconut oil and essential oils are not the same category of remedy for psoriasis. Coconut oil has a legitimate, well-supported role in a psoriasis routine. Essential oils are a much more cautious proposition — genuinely useful in some cases, but a significant irritation risk on already-inflamed skin when used incorrectly.
