I got a free sample of Stiefel's Oilatum Scalp treatment today (via their
website) and it seems formulated with an anti-fungal agent against
malessezia furfur particularly.

d+scaling+scalp+conditions

I am going to try it out (for a few weeks only) to see if it works as I have
had scalp psoriasis for years. It's too expensive to use as a normal
shampoo. It cost me £8.75 for 100 ml at my uk supermarket pharmacy.

We posted this one recently and went around in circles on it,
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=14675283&dopt=Abstract
[snip] Our data suggest that M. furfur can induce the overproduction
of molecules involved in cell migration and hyperproliferation,
thereby favoring the exacerbation of psoriasis.

PMID: 14675283

The second abstract in this next thread has info on oilatum,

Lets get really natural/organic now,

I just love this organic stuff. But if your not as hot for it, buy
some
coal tar shampoo and do a rotational program with your hair
cleaning program. Say every third or fourth day with the tar
and use the aubrey every other day or so. Or the same thing with ZnP.

YOu could take calaguala (kalawalla cotochupa etc) pills and
use it externally now with these shampoo's.
I may try that one this spring or so. Right now i'm very haPPy
with wheatgrass (dermawheat) and shegoi creosote (one 50mg call/day).

What's on aubreys list to avoid?

Some what do you think?

The truth is i rely on H&S for my head. :(

I know it works for me! And practicing what you preach isn't
exactly the easiest thing to do in the world. :)

Who said it was a perfect world?

Voltaire?

Pangloss?

The beach boys?

So, get a good inexpensive one and a effective more expensive one.

Tried H & S and lots of other stuff in my 40 years or so of psoriasis. I
have other laborious tar lotion ways of completely getting rid of it but
don't you upset the placebo effect.
It's a million to one chance but this might just work!
