Overview Desotent 0.05% Lotion

DermaCalm 0.05% lotion, a topical corticosteroid, effectively manages inflammatory and itchy skin conditions. It alleviates swelling, redness, and itching by suppressing inflammation-inducing mediators. Apply only externally, as directed by your physician. Cleanse and dry the affected skin before applying a thin layer. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Unless instructed otherwise, avoid occlusive dressings. Temporary burning, irritation, redness, swelling, or rash at the application site may occur, typically resolving spontaneously.
