How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This Coal Tar Topical Solution 2.5%/Salicylic Acid 2%/Sulfur 2% Shampoo is a specially compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. It combines the therapeutic benefits of three active ingredients: coal tar, salicylic acid, and sulfur. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in managing skin conditions.

Coal tar, a potent antifungal and anti-inflammatory agent, helps alleviate itching, scaling, and redness associated with skin conditions. Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, reduces the thickness of the skin's outer layer, enabling the coal tar to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. Sulfur, known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, aids in reducing bacteria and inflammation associated with skin conditions.

This formulation is specifically designed to alleviate symptoms of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other skin conditions. However, it is crucial to avoid using this formulation on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, care should be taken to prevent contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

To use this shampoo, first wet the affected area with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of the shampoo to the affected area, gently massaging it into the skin. Allow the shampoo to remain on the skin for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. Pat the area dry gently. This shampoo should be used twice a week or as directed by your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its usage, please do not hesitate to reach out. It is always important to use such formulations under the guidance of a healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
