What does Hasaderm do?

This is an automatically translated article.

Hasaderm is a combination of two topical ingredients, betamethasone and salicylic acid. Accordingly, Hasaderm has anti-inflammatory and keratolytic effects as a dermatological drug used to reduce swelling, redness, itching, and dead skin cells caused by specific skin problems such as psoriasis. The mechanism by which Hasaderm works is that the ingredients work together, reducing the amount of inflammatory chemicals, suppressing the body's natural immune response, and helping to control swelling and inflammation optimally.

1. What is the effect of Hasaderm?


Hasaderm contains two active ingredients, betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid. Betamethasone belongs to the group of topical corticosteroids. The mechanism of action of this class of drugs when applied to the surface of the skin is to reduce redness and itching caused by certain skin problems. Salicylic acid works to soften the top layer of scales on the surface of the skin, which is caused by skin problems. This will allow betamethasone dipropionate to reach the diseased skin underneath for better healing.
Thus, in both adults and children, Hasaderm is effective in the treatment of superficial skin conditions. When applied topically, Hasaderm removes scales and reduces redness as well as relieves pain, stinging, and itching caused by skin problems, such as psoriasis.
