Psoriderm Scalp Lotion Shampoo 250ml

Psoriderm Scalp Lotion Shampoo - Effective Scalp Psoriasis Shampoo Treatment

Psoriderm Scalp Lotion Shampoo provides targeted treatment for scalp psoriasis and stubborn dandruff conditions. This medicated shampoo contains coal tar, which helps reduce the excessive skin cell production that characterises psoriatic plaques on your scalp. You can use this treatment as part of your regular hair washing routine whilst addressing the underlying skin condition.

The 250ml bottle provides sufficient product for extended treatment periods. Coal tar has been used medicinally for decades to treat various skin conditions, including psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis. This formulation allows you to cleanse your hair whilst delivering therapeutic benefits directly to affected areas of your scalp.

How Coal Tar Works on Your Scalp

Coal tar slows down the rapid cell turnover that occurs in psoriatic skin. When you have scalp psoriasis, your skin cells reproduce much faster than normal, leading to the characteristic scaling and flaking. The active ingredient in this shampoo helps normalise this process, reducing the formation of new scales and plaques.

Regular use helps soften existing scales, making them easier to remove during washing. The anti-inflammatory properties of coal tar also help reduce the redness and irritation associated with scalp psoriasis. You should notice gradual improvement in scaling and itching with consistent use over several weeks.

Who Should Consider This Treatment

This scalp psoriasis shampoo suits adults experiencing persistent scalp scaling, itching, or diagnosed psoriatic plaques. You may find it particularly helpful if standard dandruff shampoos have not provided adequate relief. The treatment is also suitable for seborrhoeic dermatitis affecting your scalp area.

Consider this shampoo if you experience:

• Thick, silvery scales on your scalp
• Persistent itching that doesn't respond to regular shampoos
• Red, inflamed patches beneath hair-bearing areas
• Flaking that extends beyond typical dandruff patterns

Those with sensitive skin should perform a patch test before first use. If you have extensive scalp involvement or severe symptoms, consult your GP or dermatologist for comprehensive skin care management alongside this treatment.

Why Choose a Coal Tar Formulation

Coal tar remains one of the most established treatments for psoriatic conditions, with decades of clinical use supporting its effectiveness. Unlike some newer treatments, coal tar addresses multiple aspects of psoriasis simultaneously - reducing inflammation, slowing cell production, and helping remove existing scales.

This shampoo format allows you to incorporate treatment into your normal hair care routine without additional steps. The liquid formulation distributes evenly through your hair and scalp, ensuring consistent contact with affected areas. You can use it as frequently as needed, typically 2-3 times per week initially.

Storage and Application Considerations

Store this shampoo at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The coal tar formulation remains stable under normal storage conditions. When applying, massage gently into wet hair and scalp, allowing several minutes of contact time before rinsing thoroughly.

Coal tar can temporarily darken light-coloured hair, though this effect is usually minimal with proper rinsing. Avoid contact with clothing immediately after use, as the product may cause staining. If you're also using other hair care products, apply this treatment first, followed by your regular conditioner if needed.
