Vanos is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions including atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and other rashes that cause itching, redness, and swelling. It may also be prescribed for lichen planus and other corticosteroid-responsive skin disorders.
Vanos contains fluocinonide, a potent topical corticosteroid that works by suppressing the immune response in the skin and reducing inflammation. It decreases the production of inflammatory chemicals and inhibits the activity of immune cells, thereby relieving symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.
Vanos is for external use only and should not be applied to the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically directed by a doctor. It should not be used on broken or infected skin, and patients should avoid covering the treated area with occlusive dressings unless instructed. Side effects may include skin thinning, burning, or irritation with prolonged use. This is a prescription medication that should be used under medical supervision.
