CompositionDiplomax Ointment is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. It contains clobetasol, a potent corticosteroid, and salicylic acid, which helps soften the skin and remove dead skin cells.
This ointment helps reduce redness, itching, and swelling, and helps manage other skin conditions with similar symptoms. Apply a thin layer to the affected area as prescribed by your doctor and gently rub it in. Continue using the ointment for the duration prescribed, even as your skin starts to improve, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Keeping the affected skin clean and moisturised, avoiding harsh soaps or irritants, and protecting the area from excessive sun exposure can help support skin healing alongside this medicine. Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings unless your doctor advises this.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have a skin infection, thin or fragile skin, or are using other skin treatments. Tell your doctor if the treated area becomes more irritated, or if you notice thinning or unusual changes in your skin, especially with prolonged use. It is not suitable for use on the face or in skin folds unless directed by your doctor.
