What Experts Say

Diflucortolone valerate is a moderately potent topical corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation at the cellular level. It suppresses the release of chemical mediators involved in the skin's inflammatory response, which is why redness, swelling, and itching settle down within a few days of regular use.

Chlorquinaldol is added specifically because inflamed skin is more prone to picking up secondary bacterial and fungal infections. It acts directly against a broad range of bacteria and fungi on the skin surface, which lowers the risk of the infection getting worse while the corticosteroid is calming the inflammation.

Doctors usually recommend applying a thin layer twice daily for a short, defined course, since prolonged use of a corticosteroid on the skin can thin it over time. Regular follow up lets the doctor confirm the infection has cleared and decide whether to step down to a milder product or stop treatment altogether.
