Betasalic S 0.05%/2% Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid, which treats eczema and psoriasis.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Clobetasol into the skin.
