How Haloderm S Ointment works:

Haloderm S Ointment combines halobetasol propionate, a corticosteroid, and salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, to effectively manage eczema and psoriasis symptoms. The steroid, halobetasol, reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins, thus lessening redness, swelling, and itching. Salicylic acid facilitates desquamation, removing excess dead skin cells and softening thickened areas. This keratolytic action also improves the penetration of halobetasol into the affected skin.
