Psoriasis Coal Tar Salicylic Acid 460gm

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.

Very effective and no smell buying more now to keep on hand.

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.

This salve is just a skin moisturizer. I've used it for about a year, and my psoriasis has not changed. I do not have the scaly, flakey skin that I would have if I used nothing, but as far as helping the psoriasis it did nothing. When you smell it there is no tar smell or anything that indicates there is some medical ingredient in it, it just smells like salve.

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.

As an older red head my skin is fragile so it was important to find the right stuff. Here's what I found about Cosalic. When you first open the jar, it looks like slightly granular Vaseline, feels like it too. It feels greasy for about an hour, beware touching silks. My skin is shiney, lmao. After 3 applications I noticed my psoriasis was not bleeding anymore and I could run my hand over it, without getting scratched. Overall, the greasy feeling is preferable to the scaly bleeding sores that I had before. I also used this on my heals, worked great there too. The scent is not flowery pretty but not gross either, kind of like Vaseline.

Really annoying to find that the packaging is extremely deceptive. Based on the size of the jar, you would expect it to be fully filled with product but it is not. It is like two jars in one where the inner jar with the product is substantially smaller than the outside jar.And the product does not seem to be effective either. My aged mother says it does nothing.

After three days allOf the excess skin was gone on both of my elbows. Just red patches left.
