Summary A single blind comparison of 0·1% dithranol in a 17% urea cream base (Psoradrate®) with a coal tar and salicyclic acid pomade in the treatment of scalp psoriasis is described. Roth treatments were equally effective, though Psoradrate caused significantly more side‐effects. We concluded that Psoradrate is effective in the treatment of scalp psoriasis.
