"I was admitted for nasal surgery, but the doctor gave me dexamethasone 0.5 mg to prevent allergies. My eczema disappeared, and I feel better. I did some research on this prescription, it is a kind of steroid, and you cannot take it usually or daily. Better to consult with a doctor. But I would love to take it if I have better information and with doctor consultation."

"Was prescribed ten 4 mg dexamethasone tablets to be taken twice daily as part of treatment for a tooth infection. Only took 5, and an eczema outbreak on the back of my neck I'd had for at least 3 years completely resolved. Now taking the last 5 I had saved months later in hopes of clearing a new outbreak of discoid eczema on the front of my neck, which has already been there in excess of 2 weeks. If it works again, I'll review again since discoid eczema is considered one of the more stubborn types, and I'm unsure what type I had on the back of my neck previously."
