Psoriasin (coal tar) "Will not stop itching, it is not meant to. What it does very well is to keep the skin medicated/lubricated so that it does not itch due to dryness alone. I had used similar meds in the 50's for childhood eczema, which is why I went to it again 60+ years later. I have yet to find something which will effectively stop itching for anything but a few minutes without deleterious effects."

Cutar (coal tar) "Prescribed by my daughter's dermatologist when she was 3 years old. Cutar is used as bath soak and it has made her skin less irritated. She is now six, she still has eczema and we use intermittently throughout the year due to the warnings."

"I've suffered from eczema since I was born. No plastic diaper cover etc. Born in 1960 doc's did a lot of odd treatments that didn't work. Finally, in mid 70's it went to my feet. My heels cracked also between the toes. The cracks were often over 1/2" deep, bled, & never closed. Of course the doctors declared that it was athlete's foot! I had to put a OTC solution that has alcohol as #1 ingredient! I couldn't walk in the mornings, bled on things, & was tortured by athlete's foot meds for years! Finally I was diagnosed with eczema & allergic to most trees, grasses, weeds, soaps, perfumes etc. Zinc oxide on the feet wrapped in a sock & plastic bag almost "cured" the cracks. Coal tar topical shampoos & face really helped too!"
