Whats That
About Prosalic 6 Ointment
Prosalic 6 Ointment is used to reduce swelling, itching, redness, and dead skin cells caused by specific skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin).

Prosalic 6 Ointment contains Betamethasone (steroids) and Salicylic acid (anti-inflammatory/keratolytic) that work together by reducing the amount of inflammatory chemicals your body makes, thereby stopping the body’s natural immune response, which helps to control swelling and inflammation. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released typically. Salicylic acid belongs to the class of keratolytic agents that work by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells, and softens skin.
