Fluocinonide topical "Easy to use on scalp conditions compared to oils. Can burn a little, but two thorough applications will clear up the problem for 7 to 10 days. Apply once a week before a breakout and it keeps the problem under control. I have been using it for 3 months and no side effects yet. I have a full head of hair, my scalp can get really bad and this works. I am a 62-year-old white male."

"I have used this medicine (by Taro) for more than 30 years for psoriasis on my elbows, knees, and ankles. I have experienced no side effects, and for the last 2 years, my psoriasis has gone. The coverage area was not great, so I did not use huge amounts of this ointment. I still use it intermittently today."

"I dye my hair, leaving my scalp itching and with bumps. This works great instantly. What I didn't know was to leave on for ONLY 20 minutes, then wash out. Not knowing this, it caused me to lose some and thinned out my hair."

"I was diagnosed with psoriasis about 3 years ago after years of being told it was dandruff on my scalp and eczema on my face. When I told my doctor it seemed to flare up when my arthritis did, he realized I had psoriatic rheumatoid arthritis. Long story short... he told me to use this, and every time my face flares up, I use it the night before, and in the morning it's 90% gone. I'm only 38... I know the shot would be better, but I have no side effects from this. The shot I would. I recommend the solution over the cream or gel."

"I had psoriasis of the scalp, and after applying this gel one time, the scales began falling off, and the terrible itching went away. I now only need to use it weekly, and it keeps the itching, scaling, and redness under control."

"Started applying two days ago, bingo, my psoriasis on my belly started to fade the redness. At first, it feels itchy, on the third day, it seems great. Praying forward for more positive results. This cream versus my ointment, not bad."

"I developed scalp psoriasis in a couple of locations on the rear quarters of my head-both sides. I was prescribed fluocinonide 0.05% topical liquid solution. A few drops stopped the itching and flaking. The liquid form is easy to get down deeply under the hair and onto the scalp right out of the bottle. I had tried OTC shampoos and creams and solutions like Scalpicin (hardly made any difference at all). Fluocinonide cleared up the problem, and I would only have to apply it when the psoriasis bothered me every few days, if that. I had no side effects except that it felt a little warm after application, but that soon faded. I'm finally happy that I have something to battle the problem that's easy to use and is super effective."

"I always have had psoriasis of the scalp, but recently it has started on one armpit. It is very uncomfortable, so my mom, who is a nurse, gave me a tube of this. It worked within a day, but I lost out and it broke out terribly bad, like I thought nothing could help it. I found the tube, and it looked awesome after just one day. Just finished my second day, and it had faded quite a bit more. I'm sure it won't be long till it's completely gone. Can't wait. It's the summer, and I can't always keep my arms down."

"Fluocinonide worked amazingly! In 2008, I was prescribed it for my guttate (covering entire body 60%+ of skin) and my plaque on my scalp. Within 4 days, I was almost 100% clear. Haven't been able to get it since, but would recommend it every day of the week!"

Fluocinonide topical "Did not phase my psoriasis in any way. It did manage to take my fingertips off the fingers I was using to apply it. I would have thought it was pretty strong based on that. But did nothing for my patches."

"I have plaque patches all over my body and also genital psoriasis. This can go on head and body patches but must be mixed with a diaper cream, otherwise, it causes more pain and skin damage in the genital area."

Fluocinonide topical "While I was pregnant, my psoriasis freaked out. It went all over my body. I could see a difference every day until it was gone. One of the only medicines that didn't set my skin on fire."

"Used in a liquid form for my scalp, I think ultimately it did help clear some of my psoriasis, but was not worth the amount of itchiness it would cause directly after putting the product on."

"Reduced and relieved inflammation in legs caused by psoriatic arthritis. Caused skin to be shiny and thin, some itchiness occurred during the night. Skin cracked, peeled and flaked away."
