Tarsum Psoriasis Shampoo Coal Tar 4 oz — Extra Strength Leave-In Exfoliating Gel for Itchy, Flaky Scalp

Tarsum Extra Strength Psoriasis Shampoo is a coal tar–based leave-in shampoo and conditioner that exfoliates flaky scalp skin and soothes irritation when used as directed.

If your scalp struggles with persistent flaking, redness, or thickened patches, this concentrated 4 oz gel combines liquor carbonis distillate (coal tar) with beta hydroxyacid to target excess dead skin and support a calmer scalp environment. Designed to be applied before showering and left on dry from 5 minutes up to one hour, Tarsum provides customizable action depending on how long you leave the formula on. It’s formulated for conditions like scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, severe dandruff, and general scalp eczema symptoms, offering an exfoliating, moisturizing approach without rinsing right away.

How does Tarsum relieve flaking and plaque on the scalp?

The formula works by combining a coal tar derivative with a beta hydroxyacid to soften and help remove excess skin buildup. Left-on application lets the active ingredients penetrate and loosen scales before you wash, increasing exfoliation effectiveness.

• Contains 10% LCD (liquor carbonis distillate) coal tar solution for exfoliating action
• Beta hydroxyacid helps dissolve bonds between dead skin cells
• Leave-in gel format allows deeper contact before rinsing
• Seals in moisture to reduce visible flaking after washing

How should I use Tarsum for best results?

Apply the gel directly to the dry scalp in the areas that need treatment, then leave it on for 5 minutes to up to 1 hour depending on tolerance and desired intensity. After the leave-in period, shampoo and rinse as usual to remove loosened scales and residue.

• Apply to dry scalp before showering; avoid contact with eyes
• Start with 5–10 minutes if you have sensitive skin, increase gradually
• Use consistently as part of your scalp care routine for visible improvement
• Follow label directions and discontinue if irritation worsens

What active ingredients are in this shampoo and what do they do?

Tarsum combines a coal tar solution (liquor carbonis distillate) at 10% with a beta hydroxyacid to address excess dead skin and build-up. The blend is formulated to exfoliate while helping the scalp maintain moisture balance, delivered in a gel that functions as both a shampoo and pre-wash conditioner.

• 10% LCD coal tar solution: targets scale and flaking
• Beta hydroxyacid: supports removal of dead skin cells for smoother texture
• Gel carrier: helps the actives stay in place for the leave-in period
• Formulated to reduce visible flakes and support scalp comfort

Are there safety or usage precautions I should know?

As with any topical scalp treatment, use according to directions and avoid contact with broken skin and eyes. Because coal tar products can increase sun sensitivity, protect treated scalp areas from prolonged sun exposure; patch-test first if you have sensitive skin.

• Patch test before first use on a small scalp area
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately if contact occurs
• Do not apply to open wounds or severely broken skin
• Limit sun exposure on treated areas and use protective measures

Who is this for? Tarsum Extra Strength Psoriasis Shampoo is intended for adults seeking a targeted, high-strength scalp treatment for persistent flaking, plaque, and irritation associated with scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, severe dandruff, or scalp eczema symptoms. It’s suited to people willing to use a leave-in, pre-shower gel and follow precautionary measures; anyone with very sensitive skin or concerns should consult a healthcare professional before use. Packaged in a concentrated 4 oz size, it’s a focused option for spot treatment and ongoing scalp management when used as directed.
