Coal TarsTopical coal tars have helped treat psoriasis for centuries and can be used by themselves or combined with UVB. By making the skin more sensitive to UV light, coal tar can cause a greater sensitivity to burning when combined with UV therapy. However, tars cause staining and coal is also a designated carcinogen (COSHH - Committee of Substances Hazardous to Health, UK).
