Coal tar makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight (such as sunbathing) should therefore be avoided after application of the lotion. There may be a very small increase in the risk of skin cancer in patients with psoriasis who are treated with coal tar products, but this is not proven. Propyl hydroxybenzoate (E216) and methyl hydroxybenzoate (E218) may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).The Dr says she will try something else if there is no change once the final bottle has been used. Let me know how you get on. Children under 12 years and the elderly: as for adults, but the lotion can be diluted by mixing with a few drops of freshly boiled and cooled water if preferred.

I have been using Exorex for about a month now, twice a day. I have tried just about everything topical over the years, except biologics, and none of it worked. Exorex Lotion 1%contains 1% prepared coal tar in the bast of esterified fatty acids. The ingredients used allows you to notice an improvement to your skin within a few weeks, however it may also take longer for the improvement to occur. This product is the most important product within the Exorex Management System as it is indicated for the treatment of psoriasis whilst others are complementary products designed to assist in the management of psoriasis. Exorex should not be used on patients who have disease characterised by photosensitivity such as lupus erythematosus or allergy to sunlight. Towards the end of November 2021, we received a number of queries from our members who were having difficulty obtaining Diprobase Ointment.

I see your post is a few months old so i’m wondering whether you continued with Exorex and whether it worked. My Psoriasis does seem to be fading but it is a very slow process. My Doctor prescribed me 6 bottles of the stuff and expressed the hope that a change would occur by the time I had used four of them. I am just starting the fifth bottle and hey presto yesterday loads of my Psoriasis was gone. Unfortunately it has returned today so I don't know if this stuff is working or not. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused and advise patients affected by the discontinuation of Dithrocream Creams to speak to their GP or dermatology specialist.' After a month the results are varied, some patches, on the outside of my thighs have almost completely disappeared, these patches were about an inch and a half across and very red and scaly. Other patches however dont seem to have improved very much. You may experience skin irritation, increased sensitivity of the skin to sunlight, or acne-like outbreaks of the skin.If this happens consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Dermal confirmed to us that Psoriderm Bath Additive was permanently discontinued in June 2021. They issued the following statement: An increased risk of skin cancer in psoriatic patients treated with a combination of coal tar and UVB radiation has been reported. However epidemiological studies of patients treated with coal tar alone are inconclusive. The risk of toxicity should be taken into account when considering the suitability of this product for the patient (see also section 5.3). If you would like more information about scalp psoriasis and its different available treatment options, please do get in touch with us.I have just looked up the Patient leaflet online ( https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.9022.pdf ) . They told the Psoriasis Association 'the minimum volumes that we have to produce on a production run are far higher than demand and as such it wasn't viable to continue producing the product'. Unfortunately, treatments and over-the-counter products occasionally become unavailable for a variety of reasons. Skin irritation, photosensitivity of the skin. In addition coal tar may cause acne-like eruptions of the skin.
