Chemical Formula: C24H32O6

Desonide topical is used to help relieve redness, itching, swelling, or other discomfort caused by skin conditions

For the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatose.

Like other topical corticosteroids, desonide has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties. The drug binds to cytosolic glucocorticoid receptors. This complex migrates to the nucleus and binds to genetic elements on the DNA. This activates and represses various genes. However corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins.
