Coal Tar, Salicylic Acid

Coal Tar with Salicylic Acid is a dermatological combination medication specifically designed to treat a variety of skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, and acne.
Coal tar is a substance derived from the distillation of coal, known for its anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and antimicrobial properties. It has been traditionally used in dermatology to alleviate the symptoms of various skin disorders by regulating the production of skin cells, reducing inflammation, and inhibiting bacterial and fungal growth.
Salicylic acid, on the other hand, is a beta hydroxy acid derived from willow bark that has keratolytic and comedolytic effects. It works by dissolving the connections between skin cells, promoting the shedding of the outer skin layers, and unclogging blocked hair follicles. This combination of actions helps to manage excess keratin production and resolve inflammatory lesions associated with psoriasis, eczema, and acne.
Coal Tar with Salicylic Acid is available in various forms such as shampoos, gels, creams, and ointments, allowing for tailored treatment to individual skin conditions and types. It is generally applied topically to the affected area, following the product’s specific usage instructions. As with any medication, follow the recommended usage guidelines and consult with a healthcare professional to ensure the appropriate dosage and application for your specific condition.
