DERMOVATE CREAM 25g 

Dermovate cream is used in short courses to treat severe inflammatory skin disorders, such as those below:

Eczema.
Psoriasis.
Skin disorder called lichen planus, in which there are patches on the skin that appear as flat-topped, shiny, almost violet itchy areas.
Skin disorder called discoid lupus erythematosus, which is caused by the immune system attacking the skin.

Dermovate is used for reducing inflammation. Skin inflammation may occur as a result of an allergic reaction, or irritation of the skin. It is caused by the immune system releasing substances that make blood vessels in the skin widen. This makes the irritated area become red, swollen, itchy and painful, as is seen in dermatitis or eczema.

Dermovate ointment is more greasy than the cream. It is more suitable for very dry, scaly areas of skin, whereas moist or weepy skin is best treated with the cream.
