⚕️ Clinical Solution for Stubborn Scalp Problems
Coal Tar Oil is a medically-recognized treatment for chronic dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and associated hair loss. Used in dermatology for over 100 years, this therapeutic oil addresses the root cause of scalp conditions—not just the symptoms.
🔬 Medical Applications:
PRIMARY USES:
- Severe dandruff (chronic flaking)
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Scalp psoriasis
- Itchy, inflamed scalp
- Hair loss due to scalp conditions

💊 How It Works:
Active Mechanism: Coal tar slows down the rapid growth of skin cells on the scalp that causes flaking and scaling. It also has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic (anti-itch) properties.
Dual Action:
1. Keratolytic Effect: Breaks down and removes dead skin buildup
2. Anti-proliferative: Normalizes skin cell turnover rate
