How Elosone Cream works
Elosone Cream is a steroid that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause redness, swelling, and itching in the skin. It reduces inflammation by suppressing the immune response, decreasing swelling, and preventing the release of substances that cause allergic reactions and irritation. This helps alleviate symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
