Mode of actions

**Corticosteroids** reduce inflammation in several ways. They keep certain immune cell membranes stable so harmful enzymes aren't released, stop macrophages from gathering at inflamed sites, and make it harder for white blood cells to stick to blood vessel walls. They also decrease how easily fluid leaks out of blood vessels, which helps prevent swelling, and they lower the levels of proteins involved in the immune response. Additionally, corticosteroids block the effects of histamine and reduce the release of kinins, both of which are involved in inflammation. They also slow down the activity of cells (fibroblasts) that produce collagen and scar tissue.

**Salicylic acid** works mainly by breaking down and softening the outer layer of skin (the stratum corneum) when applied to the skin. It increases moisture in the skin, which causes this layer to swell, soften, and eventually shed. In large amounts, salicylic acid can actually burn the skin. Besides this, it has mild antibacterial and antifungal properties.
