About Cloyap-CS Ointment

Cloyap-CS Ointment is a combination medicine used to treat psoriasis. Additionally, Cloyap-CS Ointment may also be used to treat seborrheic dermatitis. Psoriasis is a skin condition in which skin cells multiply up to 10 times faster than usual, leading to skin build-up into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition which causes an itchy rash with flaky scales.
 
Cloyap-CS Ointment is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Coal tar, and Salicylic acid. Clobetasol works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Coal tar and salicylic acid help break down keratin clumps, remove dead skin cells, and soften the skin. Together, Cloyap-CS Ointment helps in treating psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
