About Xinasone C Cream 15 gm

Xinasone C Cream 15 gm belongs to a class of drugs called 'steroids' primarily used to treat various skin conditions like swelling, itching, and redness like psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). The skin's swelling occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.
