Medical Description
Exetar Oint ointment is used on affected skin to help manage scaly, itchy conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis and psoriasis of the scalp.

Exetar ointment is for external use only and should be applied to affected skin under medical supervision, not inside the eyes, mouth or other sensitive areas.
