Coal tar

Worked well for me. I was prescribed coal-tar based potions and shampoos. they all helped my psoriasis greatly. In the days when Wrights Coal Tar soap still contained actual coal tar extract, even that helped a lot.

About 12 years ago, I was recommended Exorex Lotion by my dermatologist. I had patches all over my body after having a baby. It worked quickly. No steroids, no grease. It does not smell as other tar solutions. However, when I neglect my skin, i.e. not use it for a few days, or not regularly, like recently, it comes back. But I think it is also caused by stressful life that I experience recently and bad diet/dehydration. Whatever. I gave it to my mum and aunt who also suffer from psoriasis and they like it too. Expensive, but I buy it on the Internet, it is cheaper than in the pharmacy. They come in small 100ml bottles, I always get 200ml, which comes cheaper. It lasts for a while, no need to pour too much on skin. Don't forget to shake the bottle well before each use.

Regarding Exorex, there used to be 2 products, one with coal-tar (5% I think) and one without: https://www.psoriasis-association.org.uk/forums/topic.aspx?ID=3177 https://www.psoriasis-association.org.uk/forums/topic.aspx?ID=4059 https://www.psoriasis-association.org.uk/forums/topic.aspx?ID=4062
