Once-daily treatment with Xamiol gel can prove to be very effective in treating patients suffering from flaking, itching, and soreness that are caused due to scalp psoriasis. The gel, which is now available on prescription, combines the positive effects of a vitamin-D like agent and steroid.

This gel, consisting of calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate, also helps in improving quality of life of scalp psoriasis patients besides acting as a second-line alternative.

From News-Medical.Net:

Typical scalp psoriasis treatments include coal tar, dithranol, salicylic acid, steroid creams and ointments, as well as Vitamin D based treatments. In the past, patients have expressed their dissatisfaction with certain treatments, for being ineffective, difficult to apply, making the hair look dirty or smelling strongly. This in turn can affect their willingness to stick to treatment routines. This new combination is an almost clear and odourless gel that is simply applied once-daily: for example in the evening, then left on overnight and washed out the following morning.

“The Psoriasis Association welcomes the introduction of new therapies such as Xamiol that can improve the quality of life of patients and expand the treatment options for this frustrating and traditionally difficult to treat condition”, commented Helen McAteer, Information Officer for the Psoriasis Association.

Dr Girish Gupta, Consultant Dermatologist from Monklands Hospital, Lanarkshire remarked that the Xamiol gel comes with a formulation that makes it easier for people to use it in their fight against scalp psoriasis.
