Extra Strength Psoriasis Shampoo - Coal Tar Shampoo and Conditioner for Scalp Psoriasis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Severe Dandruff, & Eczema - Exfoliating Relief for Flaky, & Itchy Scalp (4 oz)

If you're dealing with scalp psoriasis, this shampoo is a total game changer. Within a few washes, I noticed significantly less flaking, redness, and irritation. It really works - better than anything else I've tried.Now, let’s talk about the smell... it's rough. Strong and medicinal, not something you look forward to in the shower. But honestly, the results make it worth it. I just follow up with a good moisturizing hair mask, which helps soften my hair and masks the scent a bit.Yes, it can be drying, but that’s an easy fix with the right conditioner or mask. For the relief it gives my scalp, I’ll gladly hold my nose and keep using it.

Improves scalp health, reduces itching and scalp irritation. Works well for itching scalp. Scent is strong but can wash out with shampoo.

The first time I bought Tarsum, it worked! Prior to that, I had tried almost every brand of psoriasis shampoo sold by Amazon. I’ve suffered with scalp psoriasis since childhood. As I grew older, psoriasis would present itself in my ears, on my eyelids, on my knees, elbows, ankles with smaller patches elsewhere. While I’ve never had a severe case of psoriasis on the rest of my body, the major area of concern was my scalp. After the first application of Tarsum, I immediately felt a change. No more itching or burning! After the second application, my scalp felt and looked NORMAL. No more flaking! I can wear dark colors with confidence! I was thrilled. Since I purchased my first bottle of Tarsum about 5 years ago, the manufacturer no longer makes the larger size; the bottles are now almost half the size they once were, but I buy it because it works. I also used a skin emulsion, Cutar (also sold on Amazon) for the psoriasis on the rest of my body, but it didn’t seem to work as well on my skin as Tarsum does on my scalp. The directions on the Tarsum bottle state to put the shampoo on the scalp for 5 minutes before showering after which you can shampoo/condition with your regular products so there is no lingering tar scent. I thought: why not do the same on the other areas of my body that are affected by psoriasis that I do on my scalp? The result is that Tarsum removes the red, flaky patches from the rest of my body as well as it works on my scalp. I apply the shampoo on my legs and arms and anywhere else I see patches, and after 5 minutes or more, I shower it off and then use my regular soap, rinse again, and then follow up with my regular moisturizer after I dry off.. Tarsum works on my body better than the Cutar skin emulsion, or anything else I’ve used, so now it’s Tarsum for everything that has to do with psoriasis. It is the ONLY product that absolutely works.To think I spent HUNDREDS of dollars every year on prescription solutions that really didn’t work. I buy a $25 bottle of Tarsum and all my psoriasis is GONE.I know psoriasis has no cure, but at least now I don’t have to look like I’m in need of one.

I purchased this after researching different dandruff shampoos to try, I found this shampoo after going down a tiktok rabbit hole. I previously used Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo but I didn't feel totally 'flake free'. I like that you can 'spot treat' your dandruff with this shampoo and leave it on for 20-30 mins before you shower. Ive been using this once a week and it has been keeping my flaky, itchy and dry scalp under-control. The downsides to this shampoo is that it smells terrible. It smells like a mixture of mothballs and fresh asphalt- it is truly horrid. The upside is that my dandruff has been more manageable. If only the smell was more bearable!

Best product to help with dermatitis I will never change this product to any other item

I like it but it didnt help my scalp a lot this is good for mild dandruff

I have tried many tar shampoos and this one is the best. It contains more tar than most (2% vs 1%) and does a very effective job at controlling the itchiness and flaking. It is also very well-priced, as you need to use very little product for it to do the job. i highly recommend you try it if you have not been satisfied with the products you've tried thus far.

My hubby has been using Tarsum for some time and it has helped him with itchy scalp and hair falling out. It doesn't have a distinct smell, it is easy to use, and it lasts for about a month. I wish the bottle was bigger for the price, however it is worth every penny.
