Key Features & Benefits

  • Symptom Relief: Effectively reduces swelling, persistent itching, and irritation associated with chronic skin issues.

  • Texture: Typically formulated in a non-greasy base that allows for easy absorption into the skin.

Common Uses

It is generally prescribed for the treatment of:

  1. Psoriasis: To clear patches of thick, red, or scaly skin.

  2. Eczema (Dermatitis): To manage severe flare-ups and inflammation.

  3. Lichen Planus: A condition that causes itchy, flat-topped bumps on the skin.

  4. Lupus Erythematosus: To treat skin lesions associated with this autoimmune condition.

  • Duration: Due to its high potency, it is usually recommended for short-term use only (typically not exceeding 2–4 consecutive weeks).

  • Precautions: Avoid applying to the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically instructed, as the skin in these areas is thinner and more prone to side effects.
