Aeroseb-HC (pronounced: air-o-seb-HC) is a topical medication often used in the treatment of skin conditions. It is a combination of hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, and iodoquinol, an antibacterial and antifungal agent.
Etymology
The term "Aeroseb-HC" is a brand name, with "Aero" possibly referring to its aerosol form, "seb" to sebum, the oil produced by the skin, and "HC" standing for hydrocortisone, one of the active ingredients in the medication.
Usage
Aeroseb-HC is primarily used to treat skin conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and rashes caused by allergies or irritants.
