This disruption leads to increased permeability and eventual death of the fungal cells, effectively treating and preventing fungal infections on the skin. Flucinolone, a corticosteroid, exerts its mode of action by suppressing inflammation and immune response, providing relief from itching and redness associated with various skin conditions.
