I have not found any cleanser that doesn’t, sting and trigger a flare. I did find shampoo from Europe that I can use, but it still dries my scalp. I also can use a colloidal oatmeal lotion to help wash my whole body except the scalp. I have been dealing with several different rashes, however, so perhaps this will improve.
