Beclometasone belongs to the corticosteroid class of medicines. It works by entering the skin cells and blocking the pathways that lead to inflammation. This reduces redness, swelling and itching in the skin by suppressing the immune system locally in the skin.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal agent. It fights fungal infections by damaging the cell membranes of the fungi, stopping their growth.
Neomycin is an antibiotic that halts the growth of certain bacteria by interfering with their protein synthesis, helping to clear bacterial skin infections.
