MG217 2% Coal Tar Ointment for Psoriasis, Extra Strength Multi Symptom Relief, Effectively Relieves Itching, Scaling, Redness, Vitamin A, D and E, 4 oz Jar

UPDATE#2I'm going to Retract my original review Because I am finally seeing changes. Positive changes, so this stuff is pretty good.UPDATE:So I had to take a couple stars away. Becuz as great as I thought this treatment was, the scaling Comes right back within a day or 2, So heck, I can buy cortisone for a dollar and it does the same thing. So I am disappointed to a point. I guess you have to keep putting this stuff on several times a day for the rest of your life to keep it off.So all these fancy creams and stuff are just a waste of money.The white Scaly skin is gone After just a couple applications but came back, it's still in my ears but it has calmed down. I still have the red spots, I will update after a month if the red spots are gone or not.It does not stink. It's a little greasy because it's an ointment.

I was skeptical but this stuff really worked for my husband's psoriasis. He put it on (elbows) and put an elbow sleeve over it. It does have an odd strong smell that I wouldn't want if I was leaving the house but it's fine if you put it on overnight.

If you have psoriasis, then you know how much it’s not no fun to have, however, there is this lovely brand called MG 217 that makes amazing products like this ointment. This ointment does have a very bad smell to it, but the smell is so worth not having itchy and scaly skin. I feel that this ointment works better than my medicated ointment from my dermatologist.

It really works.Thank you

Unfortunately, I was not able to try the product because it arrived damaged. It did have a very strong , not very pleasant odor. Can't say if it would help or not.

I don't know what exactly to give this because it didn't just not work for me, it made my psoriasis worse. It came dermatology approved. Yeah, no. My psoriasis itched worse after the fact than without it. I ended up throwing it away without even 1/4 of the jar being used. This stuff has SO many ingredients in it. Coal tar alone has over 100. The dermatologist gave me anti-itch cream that, by itself, worked wonderfully at controlling the itch for several days at a time. This stuff made it all itch despite using the anti-itch cream (betamethsone dipropionate cream USP -augmented- .05%) every single day until I killed it. It took almost a week for my skin (shins and calves) to calm down. Both of my shines used to match. Used to! My left foot was broken for me by a coworker and the cast was more tightly applied at the bottom than at the top. I could get my whole hand snugly down inside the top of the cast that came to my knee. I wore it for almost 5 months. I was paranoid that it was going to itch me to death, but it never did at all. When the cast was removed, the psoriasis on my left shin and calf were completely gone. It's taken 5 years for it to even begin to return and it's not even 1/4 the way there. So I'm going to get a cast kit and run that same exact thing on my right leg. The Unna Boot the dermatologist said for me to get and try is going to bankrupt me when the cast is cheaper. But this never ever worked as described.

I bought this for my seborrehic dematitis. I have it in my eyebrows, ear canals, sides of my nose and cheeks. I also have it on my scalp, but do not use the ointment in my hair. I find it works very well for the flaking/crusty areas. However, it is so strong that I feel like clawing my skin off because of the severe itching it causes. Am experimenting with how long to leave it on before washing off. Also considering diluting it somehow. It has a very strong smell, so I only apply it at night before bedtime.
