Single steroid-free psoriasis foam treats both scalp and body, according to a recent clinical trial | It could be a game-changer for people with the condition in both places.


Using an existing steroid-free topical foam daily significantly improved the signs and symptoms of psoriasis on the scalp and the body, according to a recent clinical trial. It could be a game-changer for people with the condition in both places.

Treating psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by thick, scaly, red patches that can be itchy and painful, can be challenging if it appears on both the body and the scalp. However, a recently published Phase 3 clinical trial investigated the use of roflumilast foam, sold as Zoryve, as a single treatment for psoriasis on both the body and scalp, and produced some promising results. Nonetheless, the significance of the results means that patients with psoriasis of the scalp and body might want to consult their treating medical practitioner to discuss an off-label prescription for roflumilast foam.
