Exorex Lotion is used to treat psoriasis affecting the skin and scalp. Psoriasis causes red, thickened patches of skin covered with silvery scales, which may feel itchy or sore. Exorex helps reduce scaling and irritation, making plaques softer and easier to manage.

Exorex contains coal tar, which helps slow down the rapid growth of skin cells seen in psoriasis. This helps reduce scaling and thickened plaques while also soothing itching and inflammation. With regular use, the skin may appear less red, less flaky, and more comfortable.

Exorex Lotion is usually applied two or three times daily to affected areas. Apply a thin layer to clean skin and gently massage it in. Your clinician may advise adjusting how often you use it depending on your symptoms and response to treatment.

Yes. Exorex Lotion can be used for scalp psoriasis as well as psoriasis affecting other areas of the body. When applying to the scalp, part the hair to reach the affected skin and gently massage the lotion into the plaques.

Improvement is usually gradual. Some people notice reduced itching and scaling within a few days, but it may take several weeks of regular use to see the full benefit. Consistent use as directed helps achieve the best results.

Because it contains coal tar, Exorex may have a noticeable medicinal smell. It can also stain light-coloured fabrics, so it is best to allow the lotion to dry fully before dressing.

Yes. Coal tar products may increase sensitivity to sunlight. It is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure on treated areas and use appropriate sun protection where necessary.

Stop using the lotion and seek medical advice if you experience severe irritation, worsening redness, swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction. If your psoriasis does not improve after several weeks of treatment, you should also speak to a healthcare professional.

Exorex Lotion is usually supplied by pharmacies for psoriasis treatment and may be recommended by a clinician depending on your symptoms. When using an online pharmacy service, a clinician will review your consultation to ensure it is suitable for you.
