    Does anyone know where I might find Tar Pomade? I checked in my local pharmacies and health food shops but no luck yet.

    ...what an odd thing to ask for. Coal tar is used to treat some skin conditions though, isn't it? It doesn't surprise me that the places you went to didn't have it though, to be honest, because the tar in a pomade would be the active ingredient only, and therefore the product name would probably be completely different. Just do a search on Google for tar pomade products, or something along those lines.

    Not an odd thing to ask for at all as many people still find this works better than more modern treatments! Your local pharmacies are being very lazy because there is a 400g jar of it is available, and I see no reason why they couldn't order it in for you. You should go back to one of them and ask them to order it for you and see what they have to say!
