Amazon Verified Purchase
Have been using this for years and it is the best product on the market to control psoriasis or clear up any other rough or scaly skin patches with persistent use. It does not have the rebound effect that cortisone prescription cream does. Too bad the company does no advertising and one only finds out about this product by word of mouth.

So far so good March 8, 2008
I have had psoriasis off and on for about 8 years. During this last year I had my worst outbreak. Both of my elbows were red and cracked. I started putting on Mg 217 and I noticed a big diffrence in a week. I am going on week two and my elbows look great. I can see that the skin is still a little thick but it is not red or noticable. I also have a patch on my knee about 2x3 inches. I have had this for over a year now. It has been so annoying all winter. Before the skin was really red, flakey, and cracked. Now it is pinkish, no flakes, or cracks. It seems to be getting a little better each day. I am really hoping that it totally heals it. Even if it just stays the way it is right now it is worth it. I will update in a month or so and let you know how it is going.

Best Tar Shampoo January 24, 2008
It's impossible anymore (at least in CA) to find tar shampoos that have more than 0.5% or 1% because most manufacturers have stopped making anything stronger. I have used tar shampoos for years to control my seborrheic dermatitis, but the ones with less than 2% tar just do not work and the other types of medicated shampoos (zinc and salicylic acid, etc.) work for a while, but don't really clear up the problem. After a lot of searching I found MG217. It has 3% tar and using it twice a week does the job. It also does not have a strong tar smell and it has a conditioner that leaves the hair feeling good. The company has been around for a long time, so hopefully it will stay in business.
