mometasone for Psoriasis: I want to say that this cream does suspend the effects of Psoriasis and you do feel good when you see clear skin for that period of time. However, I have been using this cream for ten years now and I can only wonder if there is something out there that is safer and would have more permanent results. I know this is hard to deal with but hang in there - clear days ahead.

Elocon (mometasone) for Psoriasis: I've been using Elocon for over 15 years. I use the liquid lotion on my scalp. If I apply twice a day for a week, my entire scalp is cleared and itch free. Elocon however is not very effective for the psoriasis in my belly button and in my ears. It only works to clear it for 3 days and comes right back. But for the scalp it's a 10! I also apply it to new spots over my skin if I see them, it nicks any new spots from forming. Elocon states it may thin the skin, but after 10 years, I'm still doing good, no thinning.

Elocon (mometasone) : I have had a skin problem on the back of my hands for about 12 years. A red itching under the skin followed by the affected area of skin peeling. This is very unsightly. I think it was caused by handling blood and bone whilst working in a garden nursery. Elocon appears to have cured this after one week of treatment. I hope it is permanent.

Elocon (mometasone) for Psoriasis: I have had psoriasis for 17 years and have had many visits to the specialist. Although my psoriasis is not what they class as severe it effects my world in a severe way as it is on visual parts of my body that are difficult to hide (especially in summer). Elocon was the first ointment to take the red appearance from the psoriasis and also make some areas look normal again. It has lost its inflammatory appearance and is lessoning in size. I would highly recommend others to give it a go.

Elocon (mometasone) for Psoriasis: Wow I've had scalp psoriasis for 15 years and have tried many things. My new doctor prescribed Elocon and my scalp cleared in less than a week. I don't have to wear a hat any more and I feel comfortable wearing black.
