Polytar Scalp Coal Tar Shampoo for Scalp Conditions

 

You can use Polytar Scalp Shampoo to treat various scalp conditions including psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and dandruff. This medicated shampoo contains coal tar, which has been used for decades to manage inflammatory skin conditions affecting the scalp.

The 150ml bottle provides you with a convenient treatment option that you can incorporate into your regular hair washing routine. Coal tar works by slowing down the rapid production of skin cells that characterises conditions like psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

 

How Coal Tar Works on Your Scalp

 

Coal tar reduces the rate at which your skin cells multiply and helps to reduce inflammation in the affected areas of your scalp. When you apply this coal tar shampoo, the active ingredient penetrates the scalp to target the underlying processes that cause scaling, itching, and irritation.

The formulation helps to soften and remove scales whilst reducing the redness and inflammation associated with scalp psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis. You may notice improvements in your symptoms after regular use over several weeks.

 

Who Should Use This Medicated Shampoo

 

This shampoo is suitable for you if you have been diagnosed with scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, or persistent dandruff that has not responded to regular anti-dandruff shampoos. It is appropriate for adults and children over 12 years of age.

You should consider using this product if you experience:

• Thick, scaly patches on your scalp
• Persistent itching and irritation
• Flaking that does not improve with regular shampoos
• Redness and inflammation of the scalp

If you are looking for additional hair care products to complement your treatment routine, you may find other suitable options available.

 

Why Choose Coal Tar for Scalp Treatment

 

Coal tar has a long history of safe and effective use in treating skin conditions. Unlike some other treatments, coal tar addresses multiple aspects of scalp conditions by reducing cell turnover, decreasing inflammation, and helping to normalise the skin's appearance.

The therapeutic effects of coal tar are well-documented, and it remains a first-line treatment recommended by dermatologists for managing chronic scalp conditions. You can use this shampoo as part of a long-term management strategy for your scalp health.
