Diprosalic Scalp Application

About Diprosalic Scalp Application

Diprosalic Scalp Application is a prescription topical treatment containing betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% w/w and salicylic acid 2% w/w. It is a medicated cutaneous solution specifically formulated for inflammatory scalp conditions where thick scaling is present, such as scalp psoriasis. The combination works by reducing redness, itching, and inflammation while helping to soften and remove stubborn scalp scales.

Diprosalic Scalp Application is classed as a potent topical corticosteroid. Salicylic acid enhances the penetration of betamethasone by loosening the outer layer of scales, allowing the steroid to act directly on the affected skin beneath.
