Hi. Propysalic is clobetasol and salicylic acid. Clobetasol
Is a potent steroid and is not meant for continuous use. You should give a gap of at least 1 week after 3 weeks. Use good emollients like moisturex cream Along with steroid. It will give better relief and reduce the need of steroids. If the lesions are affecting more than 20% of body, you need oral medications. Local medications alone wont help much in such cases
Thanks
