## Description

desertcart.com : Tarsum Extra Strength Psoriasis Shampoo - Coal Tar Shampoo and Conditioner for Scalp Psoriasis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Severe Dandruff, & Eczema - Exfoliating Relief for Flaky, & Itchy Scalp (4 oz) : Hair Shampoos : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: It works faster than head and shoulders😜 - Recommended by my dermatologist. I swear you only need to do it a couple of times. The first time for 15 minutes. The second time leave it on for an hour. It is a very foaming shampoo. I use a good moisturizing cream rinse after. It works for flaking and itching and lifting of the scalp!
Review: Stinky but Effective – A Lifesaver for Psoriasis Relief - If you're dealing with scalp psoriasis, this shampoo is a total game changer. Within a few washes, I noticed significantly less flaking, redness, and irritation. It really works - better than anything else I've tried. Now, let’s talk about the smell... it's rough. Strong and medicinal, not something you look forward to in the shower. But honestly, the results make it worth it. I just follow up with a good moisturizing hair mask, which helps soften my hair and masks the scent a bit. Yes, it can be drying, but that’s an easy fix with the right conditioner or mask. For the relief it gives my scalp, I’ll gladly hold my nose and keep using it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this product and the tarsum shampoo/gel from summers 8 oz.?**
A: Thank you for your question. There is no difference - this is a recent packaging change. Tarsum Professional Shampoo/Gel is now Tarsum Relief Shampoo. We apologize for any confusion!

**Q: I color my hair a reddish brown. Will it strip the color out? Especially the red tone?**
A: I've been coloring my hair a deep auburn red for years and have been using the Tarsum shampoo for almost 2 years and as of yet it has not changed or stripped the color at all. Remember though that red color usually fades quicker than other colors. I normally color my hair every 5-6 weeks.

**Q: How long can I leave this in my hair before washing it out?**
A: Directions: For use as a scalp treatment before bathing: twist open applicator tip. Apply evenly on affected areas. Leave on for 5 minutes, gradually increasing treatment times to 1 hour, or as directed by a doctor. Then rinse thoroughly with water. As a shampoo: wet hair, apply Tarsum, up to 10 minutes, then rinse. Use daily until flaking and itching are under control, then at least twice a week or as directed by a physician.

**Q: Where made?**
A: Thank your for your question. Tarsum Relief Shampoo is manufactured in the United States.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stinky but Effective – A Lifesaver for Psoriasis Relief

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, smells AWFUL, like gasoline or maybe burning tires. Worth it despite the smell!
*by B***M on October 2, 2025*

Works great, smells AWFUL. Applied to my dry scalp and left on for about an hour before shampooing it out. It's very thick, and I massage it into my scalp. Makes your hair smell like gasoline or maybe burning tires (not sure which, but it's bad), but I follow it with a regular shampoo and conditioner to help cut the nasty smell if I have to go out that day, which does help although the scent lingers some. It also tends to slightly darken my light-colored hair if I don't follow it with a regular shampoo and conditioner. I've tried the coal tar shampoos and treatments with 1% coal tar, but the Tarsum with 2% just works so much better.
