Ectosone lotion is a medication, a topical corticosteroid used to relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, or other discomfort caused by skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and seborrhea. It helps to reduce redness, itching, and swelling.

Ectosone Lotion contains the active ingredient Betamethasone Valerate, which is a type of corticosteroid. Corticosteroids work by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system.
