Halotop Cream is a steroid that helps reduce swelling, itching redness and irritation caused due to plaque psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin) or other inflammatory skin conditions. Halotop Cream acts inside the skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
