Study Set Content:
main purpose is is to fight inflammation
CORTICOSTEROIDS (STEROID)
Useful as a treatment for chronic actinic dermatitis and lichen planus
IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS
Acts by attaching to the cellular walls of fungi. These agents are used
topically (as creams, lotions, or ointments) for superficial mycosis
ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS
used against superficial bacterial
infections.should be effectively anti-bacterial against the
targeted bacteria and have transdermal sensitization capability
ANTIBIOTICS
. It is the first choice of treatment for psoriasis.used to treat hyperkeratotic and proliferative
diseases such as psoriasis, ichthyosis, and palmoplantar keratosis,
because of its ability to induce differentiation of the epidermis and
antiproliferation

on cracked or most sites
UREA

exfoliating action. They are effective in treating acne vulgaris
