Itching in psoriasis is not just dryness — it is driven by inflammation and a disrupted skin barrier. In psoriasis, skin cells multiply too quickly and do not mature properly. This weakens the protective outer layer of the skin, allowing moisture to escape and irritants to pe*****te more easily. At the same time, inflammatory signals in the skin stimulate nerve endings, triggering the urge to scratch. Effective psoriasis management focuses on slowing rapid cell turnover, calming inflammation, and restoring the skin barrier to help reduce itching over time.

Managing psoriasis effectively requires a structured approach. Linotar Gel 1 is the primary coal tar treatment used on the whole body. It helps slow rapid skin cell division, reduce inflammation, relieve itching, and support proper skin cell differentiation. Apply a thin layer to affected areas 2–3 times daily and allow it to dry.

For scalp and facial areas, Linoscalp supports treatment in hair-bearing regions and helps soothe scaling and irritation.

To strengthen the skin barrier and restore moisture, Linocream is applied after the gel has dried or used as needed for dry areas. It contains essential fatty acids to help restore the skin’s natural protective barrier.

Used together and consistently, the Linotar range supports better long-term psoriasis control.

Healthy skin depends on a strong and well-formed outer barrier to protect against moisture loss and environmental irritants. In psoriasis, this barrier does not form properly. Skin cells multiply too quickly and do not mature correctly, which weakens the protective layer and increases water loss. The result is dryness, scaling, irritation, and persistent inflammation. Repairing and supporting the skin barrier is therefore essential in psoriasis control. Encouraging proper skin cell differentiation while restoring hydration helps the skin become more stable and resilient over time.

Psoriasis Starts Deeper Than You Think 🔬

Psoriasis is not just a surface skin problem. It begins deeper in the epidermis, where skin cells are produced. Instead of maturing and shedding over about 28 days, psoriasis causes skin cells to multiply and move to the surface in as little as 3–4 days. These immature cells build up, creating thick, red, scaly patches. At the same time, inflammation increases and the skin barrier becomes weak. Effective psoriasis management must therefore target what is happening beneath the surface — slowing rapid cell turnover, calming inflammation, and supporting proper skin barrier function.

Coal Tar and Psoriasis: Why It Still Works 🧴

Coal tar has been used in dermatology for decades — and it remains effective for a reason. In psoriasis, coal tar helps slow down excessive skin cell division, reducing the thick scaling that characterises the condition. It also reduces itching and has anti-inflammatory effects. Research further shows that coal tar can support normal skin cell differentiation by activating filaggrin, a key protein involved in forming a healthy skin barrier. When delivered effectively into the skin, coal tar continues to be a reliable and clinically supported option for psoriasis control.

Healthy skin works like a brick wall. The skin cells are the “bricks,” and natural lipids act as the “cement” holding everything together. In psoriasis, this structure becomes disrupted. The bricks are laid down too quickly, the cement is incomplete, and the wall becomes weak and “leaky,” leading to dryness, scaling, and inflammation. Repairing this barrier is essential. By slowing abnormal cell growth and supporting proper skin cell differentiation, the skin can rebuild its natural protective structure — restoring hydration and resilience over time.

Psoriasis is a chronic condition, which means it requires consistent care. Because skin cells turn over rapidly in psoriasis, regular treatment helps slow abnormal growth, reduce inflammation, and support barrier repair. Sporadic use may not provide optimal control. With structured, ongoing management, symptoms such as redness, scaling, and itching can improve, helping patients maintain healthier, more stable skin over time.

Different psoriasis presentations require different solutions.
The Linotar range offers targeted care — Linotar Gel 1 is the primary medication for the whole body. For scalp and facial areas, Linoscalp is used alongside treatment, while Linocream supports the rest of the body by restoring moisture and strengthening the skin barrier. This structured approach allows healthcare professionals and patients to tailor psoriasis management for better outcomes.

Why Is Coal Tar Still Trusted in Psoriasis Care? 🧴

Coal tar has stood the test of time in dermatology because it works on multiple levels. It slows down excessive skin cell division, reduces itching, and calms inflammation. Importantly, it supports the activation of filaggrin — a key protein needed for proper skin cell differentiation. When delivered effectively, as with Linotar, coal tar remains a powerful and reliable treatment option.

Why Does Psoriasis Suddenly Flare Up? 🔥

Psoriasis flare-ups are often triggered when the body or skin is under pressure. Infections, emotional stress, skin injuries, certain medications, lifestyle habits, and even changes in weather can disturb the skin barrier. When this happens, inflammation increases and symptoms worsen — making consistent, supportive treatment an important part of daily care.

Psoriasis Is More Than Just a Skin Problem 👀

Psoriasis is a long-term condition where skin cells renew far too quickly, causing red, inflamed patches with thick scaling. Instead of forming a strong protective barrier, the skin becomes irritated and leaky, leading to dryness, itching, and discomfort. While psoriasis can’t be cured, understanding what’s happening in the skin is the first step toward effective long-term control.
