Dermosalic

What is Dermosalic? Dermosalic is a prescription cream that mixes two active ingredients – betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid. Dermatologists across Pakistan reach for this combination when patients have stubborn skin problems involving both inflammation and thick, flaky patches. The cream tackles swelling and irritation while breaking down tough, scaly skin layers.

What’s Inside Every tube of Dermosalic has:

• Betamethasone dipropionate – This is a potent steroid that knocks down inflammation and stops the itch
• Salicylic acid – Works like a gentle chemical peel to dissolve and shed dead skin scales

When Doctors Prescribe It Pakistani dermatologists typically recommend Dermosalic for:

• Thick, scaly psoriasis plaques that won’t budge with milder treatments
• Long-standing eczema where the skin has become rough and leathery
• Stubborn patches of dermatitis that keep coming back
• Any inflammatory skin condition where both swelling and scaling need attention

How to Use It Spread a thin film over problem areas once or twice daily – your doctor will tell you exactly how often. Don’t slather it on thick or use it everywhere. This isn’t a moisturizer you can use liberally. Keep it only on the spots that need treatment.

Things to Watch Out For

• Never use without your doctor knowing about it
• Stay away from face, groin, and armpit areas unless your dermatologist specifically says otherwise
• Don’t put it on cuts, wounds, or infected skin unless told to do so
• Using it too long or too much can make your skin paper-thin and cause other problems
• Kids shouldn’t use it without proper medical supervision
• If you’re pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor first
• Keep it at room temperature, away from heat and curious children

Possible Problems Some people get burning, stinging, or dryness when they first start using it. If you overdo it or use it for months on end, you might see skin thinning, stretch marks, or tiny blood vessels showing through. The salicylic acid can sometimes irritate sensitive skin too. True allergic reactions happen but aren’t common.

What the Expert Says Dr. Imran Shah – Consultant Dermatologist “When I see psoriasis patients struggling with those thick, stubborn plaques, Dermosalic is one of my first choices. The steroid calms everything down while the salicylic acid actually gets through those tough scales – patients notice their skin feeling softer pretty quickly. But I’m always clear with them: this isn’t something you mess around with. Use too much or for too long, and you’ll end up with worse problems than you started with. Stick to what I prescribe, and it works great.”
