I know exactly what you mean. I am in a flare and also getting what I'd describe as cradle cap and flakes. Trying to get to the dermatologist but too sick. Ugh.

Me too! When I'm in a flare, my scalp feels like I have bugs crawling all over it. My Dermatologist has me using Nizoral Shampoo. It is expensive $10 for a 6 ounce bottle, but it doesn't take much and it works for me. Hope this helps.

Wow mine to I didn't know what caused it but it is right before I flare or as I start

I've used plaquenil (200mg)2 a day since 1996 until 2011. I felt so good. Very rare flare ups. I had to be taken off of it because it was effecting my eyesight. I am on 5mg prednisone now. I have hotspots (rashes,sores) on my scalp, face, inner ears. The itch is unbearable. It's on and off in certain areas of the scalp, ears and face. I continuously scratch. Unbearable sometimes. Scalp becomes red/flaky as well. I use prescribed topical ointments(Fluocinonide liquid/Lidex Gel, Cordran lotion or fresh aloe. I find the Fluocinonide liquid/gels to sting the scalp. The Cordran felt better on the scalp. There is Corticosteroid shampoo (Clobex) I hope this helps. The dermatologist and Rheumy Dr wants to keep me on a low dosage of prednisone. Have a fabulous day🌍

Clobex Shampoo, 0.05%, is a super-high potent topical corticosteroid formulation indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe forms of scalp psoriasis

Me too. Did not realize this was a factor until you posted. My scalp was itching for the past two weeks. Than broke out on face, now have a UTI, hip an knee pains and a little depression. Glad will be seeing my Rhumy on Fri.
Put in an offer on a New Home yesterday and the thought of moving is getting overwhelming, but it will be exciting to have a home of our own again.
