Quick Tips

Dermasol-S is used to treat redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort of various skin conditions.

Don't use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.
Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
