How Does Desonide 0.05% Lotion Work?

Desonide is a corticosteroid that works by:

• Reducing Inflammation: Inhibits the production of inflammatory chemicals in the skin, calming redness and swelling.
• Suppressing Immune Response: Decreases overactive immune activity that contributes to skin conditions.

This mechanism helps soothe the skin, promotes healing, and restores comfort.
