I was waking up with my scalp itching and couldn’t figure out why. My dermatologist said this was a common problem. he recommended two treatments: Keralyt 5 shampoo and a topical steroid treatment. I was reluctant to use steroids due to side effects. I tried Keralyt 5 and noticed an immediate reduction in itching. I continued weekly to apply the Keralyt 5 in the itching area, and now have complete remission of that symptom. I follow it up with my normal shampoo and conditioning. I never did use the steroid treatment. I have recommended this product to others with similar problems.

I have used this product the last time I had an outbreak of dandruff and it cleared after using it and a coal tar product alternately. It is taking much longer after use this time. It helps to leave the product on up to 30 minutes if you can. I have been moving, so didn’t have the time to use it properly. It was recommended by my dermatologist.

Used the Keralyt5 gel and shampoo for three months – not covered by TRICARE. Product minimized but could not eliminate the psoriasis patches (scabs) that presented in various locations on my scalp. Final solution was three overnight applications of Derma-Smoothe/FS which, for the first time in two years, cleared my scalp. Unfortunately, some of the scabs returned a few weeks later requiring another series of treatments. Appears that I will live with this skin disease for the rest of my life 🙁
