Description

Triple-Action Therapy for Psoriasis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, and Hyperkeratotic Skin Conditions

This therapeutic topical gel combines three time-tested dermatological agents—Triamcinolone Acetonide (0.1%), Salicylic Acid (3%), and Coal Tar Solution (10%)—to deliver a multifaceted approach to managing chronic, scaly, inflammatory skin disorders such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, and hyperkeratotic plaques.

Formulated in a non-greasy, quick-drying gel base, this product penetrates thickened skin and scales, reduces inflammation, and helps restore healthy skin turnover, making it ideal for localized lesions on the scalp, elbows, knees, back, and other areas prone to chronic plaque buildup.

Key Benefits

• Reduces inflammation, redness, and itching

• Softens and removes scales and thickened skin

• Slows down excessive skin cell proliferation

• Relieves chronic irritation and discomfort

• Supports long-term control of scaly dermatoses

• Fast-absorbing gel base ideal for hair-bearing areas or oily skin

Active Ingredients and Their Mechanisms

Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1%
A medium-potency corticosteroid, Triamcinolone delivers targeted anti-inflammatory action by suppressing cytokine release and immune cell infiltration. It reduces erythema, swelling, and pruritus, making it effective for controlling flare-ups in psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.

Salicylic Acid 3%
This beta hydroxy acid (BHA) acts as a keratolytic agent, breaking down the intercellular matrix that holds together dead skin cells. It helps soften, loosen, and remove scales and enhances the penetration of the corticosteroid and coal tar into thickened plaques.

Coal Tar Solution 10%
Coal tar is a traditional yet highly effective agent used in the management of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. It works by reducing skin cell proliferation, suppressing inflammation, and relieving itching. At 10%, it provides potent therapeutic action while remaining safe for regular, short-term use under clinical supervision.

Indications

This topical gel is indicated for the short-term treatment and symptomatic management of:

• Chronic plaque psoriasis

• Seborrheic dermatitis (especially of the scalp)

• Lichen simplex chronicus

• Chronic eczema with hyperkeratosis

• Psoriasiform dermatitis

• Thickened, scaly skin from environmental or inflammatory triggers

It is best suited for localized use on affected body areas including the scalp, elbows, knees, trunk, and extremities.

Directions for Use

Use only as directed by a healthcare provider.

1. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly.

2. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the involved skin once or twice daily.

3. Gently massage in until fully absorbed.

4. Wash hands after application (unless treating the hands).

5. Avoid occlusive dressings unless prescribed.

Do not apply to broken or infected skin, mucous membranes, or sensitive areas unless specifically directed. Continuous use should be limited to 2–4 weeks to minimize corticosteroid-related side effects.

What to Expect

• Day 2–3: Reduction in redness, itching, and visible scale

• Week 1–2: Smoother skin texture, less flaking, and softening of thickened areas

• Week 3+: Clearer, more manageable skin with reduced recurrence of lesions

Maintenance regimens may be adjusted after initial flare control based on physician evaluation.

Safety & Precautions

• For external use only

• Not for long-term or extensive application without medical monitoring

• Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucosal surfaces

• Do not use on acutely inflamed or infected skin

• May cause temporary stinging, dryness, or irritation at the application site

• Avoid use in children under 12 years without physician approval

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless deemed necessary by a healthcare provider

Coal tar may cause temporary skin staining, photosensitivity, or mild odor. Sunscreen use is strongly recommended during the day.
