STERNON S LOTION 30ML

About

STERNON S LOTION 30ML is a topical formulation combining a potent corticosteroid with salicylic acid, designed for the treatment of inflammatory and hyperkeratotic skin conditions, particularly those affecting hairy areas or large skin surfaces. The corticosteroid component effectively reduces inflammation, redness, and itching, while salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic agent, helping to loosen and shed scales and thickened skin. The lotion base provides a lighter, less greasy application compared to ointments, making it suitable for areas with hair or for patients who prefer a lighter texture. This combination therapy is effective in managing conditions like psoriasis and severe eczema where both inflammation and scaling are prominent features, enhancing the penetration of the corticosteroid for improved therapeutic outcomes.
