Product Information

Full details

Cocois Ointment is a specialized medicated treatment designed for adults and children over the age of six who struggle with dry, scaly scalp conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dandruff. Its primary benefit is the reduction of skin thickening and the relief of persistent itching through a potent combination of coal tar, salicylic acid, and sulphur; however, it requires a specific application time of one hour before washing, which may be inconvenient for those seeking rapid, leave-in treatment options.

FAQs

Can I leave Cocois Ointment on overnight?

No, it is recommended to leave the ointment on for approximately one hour before washing it out.

Is this product safe for children?

Yes, it is suitable for children over 6 years old, provided it is used under medical supervision.

How often should I use the ointment?

The frequency of use should be determined by your doctor based on the severity of your scalp condition.

Can I use this if I have broken skin on my scalp?

No, the ointment should not be applied to broken, infected, or highly inflamed skin.

Does the coal tar content cause sensitivity to sunlight?

Coal tar can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight; it is advised to protect the treated area if exposed to direct, strong sunlight.

Is this effective for regular dandruff?

While effective for dandruff, it is primarily intended for more persistent, scaly, or inflammatory conditions like psoriasis.

Troubleshooting

Ointment is difficult to wash out

Apply shampoo to the scalp before wetting it with water, then massage and rinse; a second lathering often clears remaining residue.

Scalp irritation after application

Wash the product off immediately and discontinue use if redness or stinging persists, as you may have a sensitivity to one of the active ingredients.

Staining on pillowcases or clothes

Use a shower cap or a disposable head covering during the one-hour treatment window to prevent transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Compatibility: The product is formulated for use alongside regular shampooing routines. Consult a doctor if you are already using topical steroids or other medicated shampoos.
