Is Surfaz SN ointment a steroid, and can it be used for mild skin allergies?
Asked by Female, 25 · 2 months ago
Surfaz SN ointment contains Beclomethasone Dipropionate, which is a steroid, along with an antibiotic (neomycin) and an antifungal (clotrimazole). Because it contains a steroid and antimicrobial agents, it is generally not recommended for mild skin allergies. Mild skin allergies usually improve with simpler treatments such as antihistamine creams or soothing emollients, and you should consult a doctor before using Surfaz SN to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your condition.
