The active ingredient in Exorex Lotion is 5% coal tar solution. Coal tar works as a keratoplastic, which means it relieves itching, inflammation and scaling by breaking down the keratin in the skin causing the top layer of dead skin cells to shed and slows down the growth of new skin cells. These dry, scaly skin patches produced by psoriasis flare-ups are caused by an overproduction of skin cells that then build-up. Some people will only experience very mild psoriasis, while others will develop the condition much more severely. It is not a harmful condition but it can cause some people to feel self-conscious or embarrassed.
