Abstract

Background: Topical corticosteroids and calcipotriol lotion are the most preferred agents for the treatment of scalp psoriasis. Since combination treatments increase effectiveness and decrease side effects, they are usually preferred for treatment of scalp psoriasis. The aim of our study was to compare the effectiveness and side effects of momethasone furoate lotion, calcipotriol lotion and combination of these two agents for the scalp psoriasis.
