Rather than being an ingredient, ungüento hidrófilo = hydrophilic ointment, hydrophilic means water loving and it just means that the product is attracted to and dissolves well in water.
For the other part I think you have a small spelling mistake and you mean liquor picis carbonis - also known as or related to coal tar preparation. If you just do a google search for this ingredient along with the word psoriasis you are sure to find medications which contain this ingredient.
article on psoriasis and coal tar treatment
I couldn't find any pertinent articles discussing hydrophilic ointments and psoriasis as hydrophilic creams and ointments seem to be a base that various medicines or herbs (e.g. aloe vera) are placed in to delivery the medication to the site of the psoriasis.
