I've been struggling with scalp psoriasis for years, and my doctor recently prescribed Ala-Scalp 2% Lotion. It's a hydrocortisone lotion designed to reduce redness, itching, and swelling. I've only used it for a week, and I'm not sure if I'm seeing any improvement. Has anyone else tried this, and if so, how long did it take to see results? Also, what are the common side effects, and do they go away? I want to hear about your experiences, tips, and any major concerns or warnings.

I've been struggling with scalp psoriasis for years, and my dermatologist just prescribed Derma-Smoothe/FS. The ingredient list looks intense, and I'm a bit worried about the side effects—especially the urgent ones. Has anyone else tried this stuff? I'm looking for real talk about what to expect. I know it's supposed to calm down the inflammation, but I've had bad reactions to topicals in the past.
