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

Tarsum Extra Strength Psoriasis Shampoo is a coal-tar leave-in gel shampoo designed to exfoliate flaky scalp skin, soothe itching, and support recovery from psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, severe dandruff, and eczema.

Formulated as a concentrated 4 oz leave-in shampoo and conditioner, this product combines a high coal tar (liquor carbonis distillate) content with a beta hydroxy acid to help loosen and remove excess dead skin while hydrating and calming irritated scalp tissue. You apply it before showering and may leave it on dry from five minutes up to an hour depending on desired intensity. The gel texture is intended to cling to the scalp so active ingredients reach the affected areas and provide measurable exfoliation and moisture sealing.

How should I use this leave-in coal tar shampoo most effectively?

For best results, part dry hair and apply the gel directly to the scalp where flakes or plaques appear. Leave the product on for a short treatment (5–15 minutes) or up to an hour for deeper action, then rinse and follow with a gentle shampoo or normal wash routine.

• Apply to dry scalp before showering for targeted contact.
• Start with 5–15 minutes; increase time gradually if tolerated.
• Rinse thoroughly and shampoo as usual to remove residue.
• Use as directed, and avoid contact with eyes or open wounds.

What active ingredients are in Tarsum and what do they do?

Tarsum combines liquor carbonis distillate (coal tar) in an extra-strength formula with a beta hydroxy acid to support exfoliation of dead skin. Coal tar is included to help reduce scaling while the beta hydroxy acid assists in loosening plaques so the scalp can more readily shed excess skin cells.

• Liquid carbonis distillate (coal tar) at a high concentration for scale control.
• Beta hydroxy acid to help dissolve and lift dead skin buildup.
• Gel base that adheres to the scalp for sustained contact time.
• Conditioning agents to help retain moisture after treatment.

Is this product safe to use with other scalp treatments or styling products?

Tarsum is formulated as a leave-in preparatory shampoo and can be integrated with many routines, but avoid mixing with other medicated topicals at the same application site without consulting a healthcare professional. Rinse thoroughly before using styling products and follow label directions for concurrent use of prescription therapies.

• Rinse out after treatment before applying styling products for best hold.
• Do not layer with other medicated scalp treatments unless advised.
• Patch test if you plan to combine with new products to check sensitivity.
• Store and use as directed to minimize irritation risk.

Who this is for: Tarsum Extra Strength Psoriasis Shampoo is intended for adults seeking a targeted coal-tar scalp treatment in a compact leave-in gel format. It suits people dealing with persistent flaking, visible scalp plaque, or recurring severe dandruff who want a product designed to increase contact time and support exfoliation between regular washes. Those using prescription scalp therapies, who have very sensitive skin, or who are unsure about coal tar treatments should consult a medical professional before use. If you need a concentrated, leave-on scalp gel that pairs exfoliating action with moisturizing support, this product is formulated to be part of a focused routine for scalp care.
