Hello all, glad to be part of this forum! Seems like a helpful place with nice folks 😃

So, I've had this condition on my scalp (crown and above forehead) and behind my ears for at least 5 years.

I don't know if it's sebhorric dermatitis or psoriasis, or what. I've tried Tgel (coal tar), ketoconazole, and topical steroids. Anyone know what this could be or? And any suggestions for treatment?

Thanks all!

Jon

    Psoriasis is a skin condition that typically affects the knees, elbows, trunk, and scalp. It generates a rash with itchy, scaly spots. Psoriasis is a frequent, chronic condition that has no cure. It may hurt, keep you up at night, and be difficult to focus on. The illness frequently goes through cycles where it will flare up for a few weeks or months before decreasing. Infections, cuts, burns, and specific drugs are common psoriasis triggers in persons with a hereditary predisposition to the condition.

    It is best to consult with an experienced dermatologist before going to any conclusion.
