Polytar Scalp Shampoo for Scalp Psoriasis and Dandruff

 

You can use this medicated shampoo to treat scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and dandruff. The formulation contains coal tar, which helps reduce scaling, itching, and inflammation on your scalp. This treatment works by slowing down the rapid production of skin cells that causes these conditions.

Your scalp condition may improve gradually with regular use. The shampoo helps remove scales and reduces the redness associated with inflammatory scalp conditions. You can find this product alongside other hair care treatments that address various scalp concerns.

 

How Coal Tar Works on Your Scalp

 

Coal tar reduces the rate at which your skin cells multiply and shed. This action helps control the excessive scaling that occurs in psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis. The ingredient also has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce itching and irritation.

When you apply the shampoo, the coal tar penetrates the affected areas of your scalp. This helps normalise the skin cell turnover process and reduces the thick, scaly patches characteristic of these conditions.

 

Who Should Use This Medicated Shampoo

 

This polytar scalp shampoo suits adults and children over 12 years who have scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, or persistent dandruff. You may find it particularly helpful if other standard dandruff shampoos have not provided adequate relief.

The treatment is suitable for you if you experience:

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

 

Why This Formula Contains Coal Tar

 

Coal tar has been used medicinally for over a century to treat skin conditions. The concentration in this shampoo provides therapeutic benefits whilst remaining suitable for regular use. Unlike some treatments, you can use this shampoo as part of your normal hair washing routine.

The formulation balances effectiveness with gentleness, allowing you to maintain your hair care routine whilst treating your scalp condition. This makes it more convenient than treatments that require separate application times.
