How Can Psoriasis On The Head Be Treated?

Hello. I have psoriasis on my head and have no good result with clobasol. My doctor prescribed acitretin but looking at side effects, I doubt I want to take it. I like a couple of drinks of alcohol at night to help me sleep. I am taking trazadone to help me sleep also. In addition I take venlafaxlin for depression and I am concerned this might get worse. Any recommendations?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Salicylic acid shampoo and coal tar shampoo will be helpful in your case. Avoid stress and alcohol. Using castor oil for hair is also good.
Thanks.
