QuoteReplyTopic: Psoriasis and Straightening Posted: September 26 2005 at 5:19am
hey,
i'm the same age as your daughter and i to have psoriasis on my scalp only mild though. The T-Gel shampoo did work for me but it took a while, then it came back, i straightened my hair with a straightening iron for a long time and then i got a perm. Before this i went to the doctor to see if it would be ok and she said yes, the perm solution didn't make it any worse and now my psoriasis is gone, so your daughter should be alright to straighten her hair, but yeah ask the doctor anyway just to be on the safe side.
hope i helped.

I have a very sensitive scalp. When I get stressed out I get really
really big flakes and it really depresses me and I get even more
stressed out and it gets worse. I just can't win, it's awful.
Anyway..I don't know about straightening but the last time I got my
hair colored it really hurt, it almost felt like my hair was being
pulled out by the roots and the next day my scalp was peeling really
badly and it lasted quite a while. This was in May and I haven't
colored my roots since. I also realised the coloring was probaby what
had been irritating my scalp the past couple of years except I never
put two and two together before.
Anyway I would suggest that you speak to a dermatologist or trichologist just to be safe. Good luck!
i use head and shoulders to keep dry skin under control. I straighten my hair a lot of the time, and it hasnt really effected it in a negative way. If it isnt really bad, maybe an hour or two before she goes to wash her hair, try putting a bit of moisturizing cream on the problem areas, then wash it out in the shower? Just suggestions, good luck :)
My daughter is 15 now and has very curly hair. When she was young her hair was straight with a little wave to it, but then we cut it and it has gone extrememly curly. Frizzy in the front. She would like her hair straightened, but has a mild case of psoriasis on her scalp. We usually use T-gel shampoo. I don't know how this would affect any straightening solutions.
