Skin and scalp products that contain coal-tar extracts have long been used to reduce itching and rash. They are not as strong as some other medicines, but they have long-lasting action against inflammation and have few side effects. Tar-based shampoos are helpful if the scalp is red and itchy. One popular brand is T-Gel.
