How Dipsalic Ointment works:

Eczema and psoriasis are effectively managed by Dipsalic Ointment, a dual-action formulation containing Betamethasone and Salicylic Acid. Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of prostaglandins, inflammatory mediators responsible for redness, swelling, and itching. Complementing this, Salicylic Acid, a keratolytic agent, dissolves excess keratin, facilitating the removal of dead skin cells and improving skin texture. This keratolytic action further promotes the penetration of Betamethasone into the affected skin.
