About Shcorty H17 Cream
Shcorty H17 Cream belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids used to provide relief from swelling, redness, itching, dryness, inflammation and discomfort of certain skin conditions such as dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin) and insect bite reactions. The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.
Shcorty H17 Cream contains Hydrocortisone, a steroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
