About
Clobetasol+lactic Acid+salicylic Acid+urea belongs to the group of medicines known as'anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agents' primarily used to treat eczema and psoriasis. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough. Some types of eczema can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin that is filled with serum and is caused by friction, burning, or other damage). Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply up to 10 times faster than normal, which leads to the build-up of skin into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. These can grow anywhere, but most commonly, they appear on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back.
Clobetasol+lactic Acid+salicylic Acid+urea contains Clobetasol, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Urea.

Salicylic Acid and urea is a keratolytic medicine (that softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin) which breaks down the clumps of keratin, removes dead skin cells, and helps in softening of the skin. It also helps in the absorption of Clobetasol into the skin. On the other Lactic acid helps to improve the natural moisture of the skin and keep the skin hydrated. It also promotes collagen renewal and firmness of the skin.
