As you have already stated I'm not much help, but will give my thoughts as you have started a new thread.
#1 It was cheap.
#2 It did remove flakes.
#3 Nope sorry apart from that I can see no reason to use it.
But we have to remember that we are lucky today that more is being done for psoriasis and it has at last been recognized as an illness rather than just a skin problem. My recollection of coal tar was in something I slapped on my scalp and put on a shower cap before going to bed. Washed it out in the morning and yes the flakes came out but it left a horrible smell and my head felt like it has been through a cheese grater.
I didn't use it long and i doubt it is used today, but I will follow with interest.
Good question Caroline.
