Why use Cutar Emulsion?
(Or any coal tar for that matter!)
If you have been to a doctor for your psoriasis, you were probably prescribed a topical corticosteroid. Steroids are anti-inflammatory drugs used to help control psoriasis. Basically, the goals of using a coal tar psoriasis cream-like Cutar and topical steroids are the same: to control itching, scaling, inflammation, and redness. Coal tar for psoriasis generally takes longer to work than topical steroids and has a characteristic odor. However, steroids can have undesirable side effects that are causing more patients and their doctors to take another look at Cutar. Dermatologists often recommend cutar lotion in addition to steroids to help reduce side effects.

Steroid Side Effects
Steroid Rebound – Sometimes when patients stop using topical steroids, their psoriasis returns quickly and often worse than the original outbreak. Cutar will generally keep skin clearer for a longer period of time after you stop treatment. However, it generally takes longer for Cutar to begin showing results.
Tachyphylaxis – Your medication stops working. Often patients will have success with a certain topical steroid, only to have it become less and less effective over time. Patients who get relief from coal tar lotion, generally stay better for longer periods of time, during and after their course of treatment with tar.
Skin Atrophy – thinning of the skin. Using topical steroids, especially more potent ones, for prolonged periods, may cause skin atrophy where the skin becomes very thin and more susceptible to damage. Good psoriasis lotion-like Cutar emulsion will not atrophy the skin.
To avoid or decrease the likelihood of side effects, many dermatologists recommend the use of coal tar lotion either alone, or in combination with steroids to get the benefits of both products. Some patients can control psoriasis outbreaks rapidly with steroids, and then maintain clearing with coal tar over the long term, avoiding steroid side effects. Cutar can be used either as a medicated psoriasis cream or as a bath oil for therapeutic cutar soaks.
Happy Customer –
I first discovered the Cutar Emulsion (Psoriasis Lotion) about 15 years ago. It was very affordable and was very effective in clearing up those terrible red patches. Those of you who have psoriasis, know exactly what I mean!
When I misplaced the bottle of Cutar Emulsion lotion I had, I resumed using the very expensive lotions and creams that were prescribed by my dermatologist. One or more of my prescriptions, which I won’t name to protect the innocent, was priced at $800 per tube! That is absolutely ridiculous! It should be considered a crime!
Fast forward to a couple of months ago. My son was looking through some boxes in our garage, and actually found the bottle I had misplaced years before, and was about to discard it. Surprisingly, there was some lotion left in the bottle. I immediately began using the Cutar lotion, applying it to one stubborn spot on my leg. I am being totally serious, within two weeks of use, that spot was clearing up nicely. My smooth skin is back.
I’m sorry if my review is a bit lengthy, but I wanted to paint a clear picture. This Cutar Emulsion lotion is a blessing. It is affordable and works like a charm. A lot of people with psoriasis absolutely cannot afford the outrageous prices of some of the creams and lotions that are prescribed.
Thank you for taking the time to read this review, and please at least give the product a try. You will be amazed!
