Description

How Does Dermovate Cream Work?

Skin inflammation may occur as a result of an allergic reaction or irritation of the skin. It is caused by the immune system releasing substances that make blood vessels in the skin widen. This makes the irritated area red, swollen, itchy, and painful, as seen in dermatitis or eczema. Dermovate cream is a steroid-based treatment. It works by reducing the inflammation that causes skin irritation. The cream contains the active ingredients clobetasol propionate.
