Patient Question

Hello Doctor,


Does slapping on some Propysalic NF Lotion for scalp psoriasis mess with your hair or make it fall out?

Answered by Dr. Anna Chacon

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.


As a dermatologist, I can assure you that the use of Propysalic NF Lotion should not cause hair loss. However, it's essential to recognize that scalp psoriasis itself can lead to hair loss if left untreated. This is because persistent itching and scratching can damage hair follicles, resulting in breakage and thinning. The active ingredients in Propysalic NF Lotion, salicylic acid, and clobetasol propionate, work to alleviate inflammation and scaling on the scalp, without known adverse effects on hair health when used correctly.

Following the prescribed application instructions is crucial. Applying a small amount to affected areas and allowing it to remain for a few hours before washing off is recommended. Excessive use may lead to scalp dryness and increased irritation. If you have concerns about hair loss or other side effects while using Propysalic NF Lotion, it's advisable to discuss them with your dermatologist. They can offer additional treatments or adjustments to effectively manage your scalp psoriasis while minimizing any potential risks.
