Can I use medicated shampoo (such as Nizoral) for scalp psoriasis?

Medicated shampoos are intended for fungal infections, so their efficacy for psoriasis is limited. In fact, they can even dry out your scalp. Therefore, a mild, low-pH shampoo is a better choice.

비듬 샴푸는 지루성 피부염(곰팡이 관련)에는 효과적이지만, 건선은 면역 질환이라 다릅니다.

  • 자극: 세정력이 강해 두피를 더 건조하고 예민하게 만들 수 있음
  • 타르 샴푸: 건선용 타르 성분 샴푸가 도움될 수 있으나 냄새와 자극이 있음
  • 권장: 보습력이 좋은 저자극 샴푸 사용 후 두피 전용 에센스 도포
💡 샴푸법

손톱이 아닌 지문으로 부드럽게 마사지하고, 절대 딱지를 억지로 떼지 마세요. 떼어낸 자리에서 피가 나면 건선이 악화됩니다.
