scienceMechanism of Action (How it works)

expand_more

Dersol BH Ointment is a combination of three medicines: Benzoic Acid, Hydrocortisone and Salicylic Acid. Benzoic Acid is an antiseptic. Hydrocortisone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Hydrocortisone into the skin.
