Fascinating! Both my wife and my mother have psoriasis and they both say the exact same thing! They both swear by sunlight as a way to treat it. My wife has actually gotten Dermatologist-applied blue light therapy which has done wonders for her scalp.

I will have to look into blue light therapy. I used to have psoriasis really bad on my scalp. This might sound gross to some people but what cured it for me was to not use shampoo & conditioner every day in the shower. I still wash well with warm water but ever since I stopped using "products" in my hair every day, I have not had an issue with scalp psoriasis in over 15 years. I will take naturally oily hair over scalp psoriasis any day.

I wholeheartedly agree. Most people aren’t willing to go through the oily phase, but if you go long enough your scalp will regulate its oil production and then you don’t have oily hair OR dry scalp. Source: haven’t used shampoo in over 8 years; have beautiful hair. ha
