Try Boots, but I'm fairly sure it causes cancer.

Not sure that coal tar is actually availible over the counter but there is a product called alphosol (not sure if that is the correct spelling) that is very similar, however you really should get your skin checked before putting anything on it, you could make matters worse, and coming from someone who has a skin condition i know that that is the last thing you want.

Not sure but you can buy neutrogena specialised shampoo that contains coal tar from boots or most chemists if the problem is to do with your scalp, if not i am sure your doctor or a pharmacist would be able to advise you.
Have you tried a search engine good luck.

It seems there are a variety of coal-tar based products which are available with a prescription. If a pharmacy doesn't have a medicine in stock then they will order it for you.

The pharmacist may mix an ointment for you, but why buy it? If you have a skin problem, get the doctor to prescribe it for you - much safer as it will be the correct strength.

I think you could probably buy it in chemists in the Uk or try looking online for it
personally i would not use it.
I was a frequent user of polytar shampoo and wanted to find it cheaper so looked online, apparently some states put a health warning on saying it causes cancer.
