Remedies for psoriasis are generally very individualized however you can try these home remedies that might work for your dry scalp psoriasis.
  • Take a sun bath. 90-95% of psoriasis can be healed by this. Psoriasis tends to worsen in humid and winter season. Try to move to some dry and warmer place if possible.
  • The skin of psoriasis is very dry; apply your favorite oil or even a petroleum jelly immediately after you take a shower. This will help and your skin will not flake.
  • Cold compresses also works for dry scalp psoriasis. Put some ice in the plastic bag or wrap in a towel and hold against affected area. Do not apply ice directly on the skin of the scalp as you might tend to burn your skin worsening the situation.
  • To treat the dry patches of psoriasis on your scalp you can also get a lamp of UVB sunlamp.
  • Lose weight if you are overweight. Learn to relax and avoid stress as far as possible.
