    How does this medication work?

    This cream is used for treating redness, itchiness, dryness, crusting, and scaling caused by psoriasis and eczema. It is a class of corticosteroids that works by inhibiting the prostaglandins and leukotriene’s. Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent for topical application which inhibits tyrosinase enzyme, which is important in the biosynthesis of melanin pigments. Inhibition of tyrosinase thus inhibits the production of melanin pigments, leading to skin lightening. Tretinoin works by binding to alpha, beta, and gamma retinoic acid receptors (RARs) thus activating them. This produces changes in the gene expression that leads to decreased cell multiplication, inhibition of tumorigenesis and cell differentiation.
