Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo

There is an advert on the back page of the Psoriasis Association magazine for Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo. Main ingredients are Saliciylic Acid, Distilled Coal Tar and Coconut Oil. Has anyone tried it? Would they recommend using it?

I have used Capasal for a few times this week. Was recommended it by my Derm. It's slightly pungent and leaves my hair quite coarse but it hasn't really helped with the plaques and sores I have. I'm considering shaving my head so I can use the steroid cream/Protopic just to get the scaling down so that the coal tar shampoos can be used almost as a preventative rather than a treatment.

I have Psoriasis and I think psa ,I’m 65now and think have had it about 5 yrs.

I was given it and do use it. It seems to 'set my head off' at first but then seems to calm it for a few days.
