Psoriasis Coal Tar Salicylic Acid 100gm((3.52 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I've only had this a few days, maybe 3-4. I hate putting on gloves and I use "finger cots" instead. I hate having greasy fingers and having to work hard all day to try and keep from touching anything. What a mess. the cots solve this problem. I go to a dermatologist and have been using many different creams, lotions, emulsions, and clobetasol proportionate cream on my hands. I have psoriasis out breaks on the back top of my head also. I can't believe how this cream has outdone all the prescriptions I've got around here. Been dealing with this for about more than 16 years and this has worked faster than any tried before. The clobetasol doesn't work as well anymore. Maybe I'm getting immune to it. The improvement in the 3-4 days I've been using this cream on my hands is absolutely amazing. No matter what you use, it's going to take time for healing. It's not an overnight thing. But I have went from looking like someone took an axe to my hands (including bleed cuts and large crusty hardened dead skin leaves and the resulting pain) to no pain, the leaves are mostly gone, my fingers are feeling softer and more human, and the cuts are pretty much healed and it's not nearly noticeable if someone isn't looking directly at my hands. I feel much better. And, I'm not having to follow around myself wiping cream off of everything I touch because of the cots. With this cream and the cots my hands do not feel hot and greasy, and I can do a limited amount of touching. With the cots, the cream stays on and inside the cots. I recommend that if you're a newbie to psoriasis and your fingers are involved, you get some cots which they sell right here on Amazon. Might as well go with a bulk buy as this stuff is never going to leave totally. It will keep reappearing and you'll be fighting this the rest of your life. And, I'd get some of this cream too... I am at home more days than not and I put this cream on my head when I'm sure I'm not going back out. I then shower and wash my hair an hour or so later. First, I use regular soap and then the prescription shampoo to get this medication out. It has the look and almost the thickness of Vaseline... close, but no odor. The ingredients, coal tar and salicylic acid, are the best OTC medications for psoriasis from my experience. Very few creams have both, very few are this thick and easy to apply and have a stick-to-it-ness that more efficiently demonstrates staying power. I believe I've tried everything available and spent hundreds of dollars. This cream, in my opinion has worked best. Otherwise, I couldn't do this review just three days after I started using it. Good luck.

Highly recommend. I had scabs from itching so much, this did the trick within 4 days. Everything was clear and itch free, the one con is that you have to wash your hair a couple times to get the grease out, worth it.

I've struggled with a patch on my elbow for a few years now. I applied to my elbow and the scaly skin has all but dissapeared. Hopefully it will continue. I'm sure to apply about 4 times daily. Hopes are high. So far I'm amazed at the results. A great product for the price.

The top of the container doesn’t fit well and the cover after that just made it very messy and difficult to contain

I had tried other coal tar based creams but found that this one, which also contains salicylic acid actually did clear up the mild/medium psoriasis on the calves of both of my legs. It was not too greasy, it reduced itching and was easy to apply so long as you rub it in well. I applied it religiously each evening and morning and always after showering for about ten weeks. Results were not immediate but by the time I had used up the 100g tub the psoriasis was gone and my skin is smooth. Remarkable! I have some other small areas that I will treat with my next jar. My symptons are not severe but can be unsightly and botheringly itchy. I had no noticeable side effects. The cream does not smell too strong.

Not happy doesn’t work

I have the worst kind of psoriasis. I call it worst because many people whom I know have psoriasis have it in areas which can be easily covered. Unfortunately, it is not an option for me. I have it on the dorsum of my hands. It looks bad and feels bad. I can't even shake hands if anybody because of the roughness. This was my life until I found this amazing product. It is not a cure but what a difference it has made. The roughness is gone, the patchiness is gone, the suffering has reduced, the scales have reduced, my skin absorbs other heavy balms easily. Earlier I use to moisturize every few minutes but now I don't have to for hours! You have no idea what a relief that is. Finally, I can wear a sleeveless top in summer like I should and not wear something with long sleeves to pull and cover my hands. Thank you to whoever came up with this formula. THANK YOU!

My elbows, despite two different prescription creams, were scaly and unsightly with psoriasis. This product started working within days, and approximately one month later, I feel good about wearing short sleeves again!
