What is Topicort Cream used for?
This topical medication is indicated to treat patients with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, poison ivy, insect bites, and other types of dermatitis.
It helps reduce skin redness, itching, swelling, and inflammation. Its generic name is desoximetasone.
How does Topicort Cream work?
When there is a threat from a foreign body, the immune system is alerted as a normal response. It will then direct a bunch of inflammatory cells to contain the inflammation, causing dilation of the blood vessels, which results in redness, swelling, itching, and inflammation.
When this topical medication is administered correctly and absorbed by the skin cells, it prevents the normal reaction of the immune system when there is a threat or injury. If the immune response is inhibited, it reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling.
