Dipsalic F Ointment

Dipsalic F Ointment is a medicated cream used for managing skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Eczema causes patches of skin to become inflamed, itchy, rough, and cracked, while psoriasis leads to accelerated skin cell growth, resulting in thick, red patches covered with silvery scales. This ointment combines the effects of clobetasol and salicylic acid. Clobetasol works by inhibiting the production of chemical messengers that trigger redness, swelling, and itching, while salicylic acid helps remove dead skin cells, softens the skin, and breaks down excess keratin to improve texture.

The ointment is generally safe for use but may sometimes cause mild reactions such as skin peeling, irritation, redness, or burning at the application site. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if any side effects worsen or persist. Dipsalic F Ointment should be applied externally as per the instructions of a doctor, and hands should be washed before and after each application. Use should not be stopped abruptly without medical guidance. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any other medical conditions, or if you are allergic to any of its components.
