About Cortaz Foam
Cortaz Foam is a medicated shampoo used to treat inflammatory and itchy scalp conditions, such as psoriasis. It provides targeted relief when applied directly to the affected scalp areas. Scalp psoriasis is a persistent skin disorder that results in thick, scaly patches on the scalp. It usually appears as red or silvery-white patches that may be itchy, flaky, or sore. Scales can extend beyond the hairline to the forehead, back of the neck, and behind the ears.
Cortaz Foam contains Clobetasol, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching on the scalp by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation.
