Summary The scalp psoriasis of 13 out of 20 out‐patients and of 9 out of 10 in‐patients improved with a 6% salicyclic acid gel. Out‐patients found the treatment acceptable but in‐patients preferred a traditional treatment with salicylic acid made up in soft paraffin. Absorption of salicylic acid from the gel was negligible.
