Coal tar shampoo was a standby for psoriasis and eczema. So why HAS this trusted skin treatment disappeared?

Polytar Plus shampoo, 8.99

For decades, Ray Jobling has used a special medicated shampoo to help control his psoriasis. The condition is caused by overproduction of skin cells, leading to a build-up of itchy and sore patches of skin.

Psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body, but is most common on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back.

Ray, a 72-year-old retired Cambridge University academic, has psoriasis on his scalp and has long relied on Polytar, a shampoo made with coal tar, a by-product of the industrial process that turns coal into coke.

Coal-tar shampoo, an over-the-counter product, has been a standby for psoriasis and other skin conditions, including eczema and cradle cap, for years.

But 18 months ago, it suddenly started disappearing from chemists' shelves for reasons that are far from clear.

Ray's doctor suggested he try Carbo Dome, a coal tar cream - but then a year ago this, too, started to vanish.

Ray, who was diagnosed with psoriasis when he was 14, says for those with painful skin conditions, losing a product that has been relied on for years can have a big impact (2 per cent of the population has psoriasis).

Gene mutation may prevent Type 2 diabetes

Posted: at 11:41 pm

Scientists have identified a rare gene mutation that prevents Type 2 diabetes, the New York Times reported.

In a study of 150,000 people, researchers identified a mutation that destroys a gene used by pancreas cells where insulin is made. People with the mutation were found to produce slightly higher levels of insulin and have slightly lower blood glucose levels for life. As a result, that the mutation reduces diabetes risk by two-thirds even among people who are overweight.

The results, published in Nature Genetics, are a first for diabetes research, as they show a benefit of a mutation that destroys a gene.

Researchers hope they may someday be able to develop a drug that mimics the mutation, offering protection against diabetes. However, Pfizer, which helped finance the study, cautions that bringing a new drug to market can take 10 to 20 years.

Scientists say these results are surprising and a powerful step for drug development.

The study is a tour de force, and the authors are the top people in the field, Dr. Samuel Klein, director of the center for human nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine, who was not involved in the study, told The New York Times.
