In a discussion in
And well, I was wondering: “Why does coal tar work for psoriasis?”
What does it exactly do?
What is the specific ingredient that does the work.

Perhaps there are more who have experienced coal tar?
I did some searching already but even the “official” site tell about coal tar that is a good treatment, but nowhere there is an explanation of why it works. There is even a suspected drawback in that it can cause cancer (I am not surprised by that, tar contains PAC’s Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons which are known for that).
Of all other treatments, corticosteroids, systemics, light, biologicals, we know what it exactly does. But coal tar ?? I (seems to) works.
Who can enlighten this subject ?
