Coal tar topical "Will not stop itching, it is not meant to. What it does very well is keep the skin medicated/lubricated so that it does not itch due to dryness alone. I had used similar meds in the 50s for childhood eczema, which is why I went to it again 60+ years later. I have yet to find something that will effectively stop itching for anything but a few minutes without deleterious effects."

"I've suffered from eczema since I was born. No plastic diaper cover, etc. Born in 1960, docs did a lot of odd treatments that didn't work. Finally, in the mid 70s, it went to my feet. My heels cracked, also between the toes. The cracks were often over 1/2' deep, bled, and never closed. Of course, the doctors declared that it was athlete's foot! I had to put an OTC solution that has alcohol as the #1 ingredient! I couldn't walk in the mornings, bled on things, and was tortured by athlete's foot meds for years! Finally, I was diagnosed with eczema and allergic to most trees, grasses, weeds, soaps, perfumes, etc. Zinc oxide on the feet wrapped in a sock and plastic bag almost 'cured' the cracks. Coal tar topical shampoos and face really helped too!"

Coal tar topical "Prescribed by my daughter's dermatologist when she was 3 years old. Cutar is used as a bath soak, and it has made her skin less irritated. She is now six, she still has eczema, and we use it intermittently throughout the year due to the warnings."
