Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Symptoms include a rash on the arms and behind the knees. Eczema can be triggered by various factors like foods, drinks, skin products, soaps, chemicals, detergents, make-up products, chlorinated pools, and stress.

Psorisosis

Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply and form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. Psoriasis symptoms include red patches on the skin, dry, cracked skin, swollen joints, and an itching sensation. 

Pharmacology

Dermasol Plus Ointment contains Clobetasol Propionate, a high-potency corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, and Salicylic Acid, which has keratolytic and mild antiseptic effects. Clobetasol Propionate works by stabilizing the lysosomal membranes of leukocytes, thereby reducing inflammation. Salicylic Acid helps by softening and removing the outer layer of the skin.

How to apply

• This ointment is for external use only.
• Wash your hands before applying the ointment.
• Apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area.
• Gently rub it in.
• Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless recommended by your doctor.
• Do not apply the ointment on the face, groin, or axillae unless advised by your doctor.
