How it works

Clobetasol is a very potent corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling and itching by suppressing inflammatory mediators. Miconazole is an imidazole antifungal that damages fungal cell membranes by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic that softens and removes thick scales and enhances penetration of other actives.
