Method and composition for treating psoriasis

Abstract

A novel skin lotion consisting of a mixture of lye, oils, alcohol, coal tar, and menthol U.S.P. The mixture provides a cleansing lotion that readily treats psoriasis. When the mixture is applied to the skin, the lye provides a soap for cleansing and the base oil operates to soften and moisturize the skin. The use of a coal tar solution including alcohol penetrates the dermis of the skin to reduce inflammation. The addition of menthol U.S.P. helps cool the affected area and lessens itching.
