Effectiveness

How Psorcon Affects PatientsDiflorasone is a type of medication that is applied to the skin to reduce inflammation, itching, and constrict blood vessels. It works in a similar way to corticosteroids taken by mouth, but should not be used with bandages or other dressings. To get the best results, treatment should not last longer than 2 weeks and should be stopped once the desired effects are achieved.

How Psorcon works in the bodyTopical steroids work by reducing inflammation in the skin. They do this by stimulating the production of proteins that block the release of arachidonic acid, a substance that helps create pro-inflammatory molecules like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These proteins are known as lipocortins, and they help to stop inflammation at its source.
