Desoximetasone topical "Within 5 days, the change in my skin was amazing. No flaking, no scales. The discoloration of my skin was minimal compared to what it was. No adverse effects for me. I have been on it for 5 weeks, and now I do not use it daily. I moisturize daily when I get out of the shower, and I use the gel about every 4 days. Cup your elbow in your hand, and that is how large my area was. It still is, but is now soft and lightly pink. I am going to a tanning booth to see if that helps as well."

Desoximetasone topical "Entire palms of my hands and fingertips in the exact same locations become afflicted with hard skin, then cracks, making it very painful and extremely difficult for work and to do normal activities. Prescribed Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% and had no effect, appeared to make the condition worse. Dermatologist took a skin graft with positive test results for psoriasis. I was then prescribed Topicort and used it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night for two weeks. What a relief! My skin cleared up completely! No cracks, no peeling skin, no redness, and my hands actually feel pliable again. This lasts for maybe three weeks, and I will begin to get hardening of palms and fingertips again and have to complete another two-week cycle of Topicort."

Desoximetasone topical "I used the spray. It was very convenient, kept scales at a minimal level, helps with itching and burning of psoriasis. It did not get rid of the red patches. This medicine is a great management drug, but will not put you into remission."

"It helps when I have outbreaks, within hours, symptoms are calmed, and itching subsides. I was using sample cream from my dermatologist and recently got a prescription, which was FREE! I am hopeful now that I can use it more regularly so that I can avoid breakouts."
