Picon Cream 30 gm belongs to a class of dermatological preparation called 'immunosuppressants' primarily used to prevent allergies, including swelling, itching, redness, heat, and pain caused due to certain skin problems such as dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin).
