I've been struggling with psoriasis on my scalp for a while now, and my dermatologist recommended trying the Therapuestic 0.5% Coal Tar Shampoo. I've heard it can be a bit harsh, but I'm hoping it will help with the itching and flaking. Has anyone else used this shampoo? What were your experiences like? Did you notice any side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? I'm particularly concerned about the possibility of allergic reactions, so any advice on that front would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have sensitive skin so I'm wondering if anyone else with sensitive skin had issues. Would appreciate any tips or experiences someone could share! Thank you everyone!

Has anyone else experienced any issues, or am I just being paranoid? Let's share our experiences and tips!
