HOW TOPCORT CREAM WORKS
TOPCORT
CREAM works by reducing the inflammation of skin by blocking the
production of a chemical messenger which is responsible for causing red,
swollen and itchy skin that occurs due to an allergic reaction or
irritation in the skin thereby providing relief from the symptoms of
psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and seborrhoeic
dermatitis.
