No, fluocinonide does not contain sulfur.

Fluocinonide is a topical (for the skin) steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.

Fluocinonide topical is used to treat the inflammation and itching caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis.

as Marvella would have said it is a topical cream and does not contain properities of sulfa, in order to clear this all up (I have had it) and use it up as directed. Hope all goes well for you Best wishes

as a matter of fact my mom uses that and she is 93, they just tend to want you to not use it after things have subsided because in my mom's case it can have an effect or her immune system
