It is safe to use during pregnancy, but also look at the Cream (dry skin moisturiser) and the Ointment (for Psoriasis and Eczema) both of them can be used as “soaps”, by applying them, bathing them off and re-applying a few times per day to moisten the dry skin. Use the Coaltar Cream only 2 x per day on the areas. The Coaltar and Zinc Pyrithion Shampoos are also very valuable to soothe the condition and using other commercial shampoos will add to the triggering of the condition.
