Hi, just wanted to offer an idea.
My eldest son has had severe eczema all his life with many infections and associated problems. A while ago when stressed over exams he developed an incredibly sore scalp with large open circles, flaking and weeping. Every morning we would treat with prescribed treatments, getting more and more potent and then i would have to comb the flakes from his hair. You can imagine how upset he became, at 16 to have to have his Mum do his hair every day not to mention the embarrassment of how it looked and felt.
He was eventually referred to a consultant at the hospital who gave him an extremely strong steroid shampoo. I was so reluctant to use it but my son was desperate so we did. We used it once and it was like a chemical peel. His whole scalp flaked away and was horrendously sore. I cried for him when he wasn't looking though he just got on with things as usual. For me it was the last straw.
I decided until we found something else he would wash just in water to give his skin a break from the chemicals. I scoured the internet and found this;

We tried the honey treatment and the results were fantastic! Within a week his sores healed and he could do his own hair again. He doesn't need anything stronger than honey and sometimes coconut oil.
I don't know whether this would work for psoriasis but its worth a try?
