Various dermatological lesions, accompanied by characteristic symptoms, hyperkeratosis, irritation and peeling of the epidermis, are well amenable to treatment with glucocorticosteroids. To drugs of this type is Belosalik Lotion, which, thanks to the right combination of components, allows completely to get rid of the manifestations of the disease within 3-4 weeks, to prevent inflammation.
Hormonal or not lotion Belosalik?
The main active substance of the drug is betamethasone dipropionate. This chemical compound is a kind of glucocorticosteroid - a synthetic analogue of the hormone prednisolone. Betamethasone produces an intense immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effect.
Thus, the drug in question is hormonal.
The composition of lotion Belosalik
In 1 g of the solution contains 500 μg of betamethasone and 20 mg of salicylic acid. The remaining volume is made up of auxiliary components (water, edetate disodium, sodium hydroxide, isopropanol, hypromellose).
Betamethasone performs the following functions:
- antipruritic;
- antiallergic;
- anti-inflammatory;
- immunosuppressive;
- vasoconstrictive.
The purpose of salicylic acid is to facilitate the penetration of betamethasone into the skin due to its keratolytic properties. In addition, the substance maintains the local environment in an acidic state, preventing the progression of bacterial or fungal infections.

The procedure is performed 2 times a day, sometimes enough and once, if the form of the disease is in an easy stage.
