  • Title: [Corticosteroids and their vehicle in the treatment of scalp psoriasis].
    Author: Wauters O, Roland I, De la Brassinne M.
    Journal: Rev Med Liege; 2007 Apr; 62(4):196-9. PubMed ID: 17566388.
    Abstract:
    This paper is concerned with the adequate use of topical corticosteroids for the treatment of scalp psoriasis. Very potent corticosteroids are indicated in all forms of psoriasis. The vehicle itself plays a significant role in any topical treatment. The choice of the vehicle depends on its biodisponibility and cosmetic aspect. Ideally, an easy-to-use vehicle will be preferred since it improves compliance to therapy. Foams, lotions, gels, and shampoos are better accepted than creams, pomades, ointments, and other substances with high residue content.
