Product Description

 

Betasalic Ointment treats various inflammatory skin conditions that also have excessive keratinization (thickening of the skin). This powerful ointment contains two key active ingredients: betamethasone dipropionate, a potent corticosteroid, and salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent.

The betamethasone works to reduce inflammation, redness, and itching, while the salicylic acid helps to soften and, furthermore, remove the thickened, scaly skin. This dual-action formula makes Betasalic Ointment particularly effective for conditions where both inflammation and scaling are present. As a result, it helps to clear scales, reduce discomfort, and restore the skin’s smooth texture, providing effective relief.
