That sounds very similar to when I had my pustular psoriasis at it's worst.
The only difference is that I had a creamy yellow liquid ( from the pustlues) not green.
My hair was very long back then and i was forced to have it cut shorter as the weight of my hair on my cracked scalp was sloughing the skin off.
I agree with using peas to cool down the scalp. I didn't manage to find a shampoo or conditioner to suit but I would use a very soft brush (like a baby brush) on my hair and I'd rub coconut oil (love the stuff) into my scalp then wrap clingfilm round my head for a bit to help it penetrate.
I wonder if you could get pure soap and add chamomile, as the lack of additives and soothing effect of the herb may be helpful. Have to add that I'm no expert though so don't take my word for it.
Also, a second opinion is a must!
