Mine is primarily on my scalp. When I need relief I use 2% coal tar, usually used for psoriasis. Sadly, I smell like a gasoline pump. I put a lot on them, then wash my hair the next morning. After it is dry I put the smallest dab on each nodule. I find others can’t smell my hair. That is my go to when I CANT!! take it anymore. I had no-luck with dupixent. I also have 1000 bottles of stuff I tried and cried cured until about the third day, when I shelf it again, but I end back up to coal tar when I need a mom.😩

Carla, i’ve tried these 2 products(from Amazon).
1) MG217 (3% sal. acid) medicated moisturizing psor. cream
2) Nizoral pre-shampoo scalp buildup remover (contains ketoconazole)

The Nizoral is sort of an exfoliant, with little bits of sandiness. The MG217 is a cream you might want to use when you have any burning sensation. i leave products on for awhile, 1-3 hrs. But you should do what your comfortable with 😊

Hope this helps.

Lynne5-I use Minoxidil where I lose hair, and around the edges. It keeps hair growing in and although it is very fine, i don’t have bald spots. My scalp is a mess.
