He decided to give me a coal tar solution and to take a week (maybe 2) off work to carry out the treatment - 3 times a day. I was unsure why I would need to take time off he explained it would sting, stain and stink ?

Has anyone ever used this? Is it as bad as I'm expecting it to be???

Yes in a word.

Christchurch hospital use to admit you once upon a time but not anymore sadly.

The coal tar stuff they put on me stank like hell, i was covered in this stuff then wrapped up like tutankhamun.

Within 10 - 20 mins, my whole body felt like someone had poured petrol over it & put a match to it !!!!

They threw me in the shower & washed me off rather quickly.

They put to stronger coal tar on me so they started me off on a low dose & gradually increased my dosage, it worked.

I spent 4 weeks in Christchurch derm hospital & it nigh on cleared my P.

However, as JohnB says, some eu codswallop ruling etc etc has nearly banned all strong coal tar things. Perhaps they wanted a back hander from the company that makes the stuff, i don't know but i hope you get the treatment Keeley, if so, good luck & i hope it works for you
