Lidex for Dermatitis User Reviews

"My dermatologist provided me with several sample tubes of Lidex to treat a mysterious rash, which he thought was a fungal infection, that recurred in the same spot on my skin several times. It worked like a charm, and since then, I have used it sparingly whenever I get a stubborn jock itch that won't go away with anything else. My doctor warned me it can thin the skin, so I use it as little as possible, but the good news is a single thin application is usually sufficient to knock out whatever is troubling my skin and soothes the itching in such a way that it doesn't come back again for months and months. I think it's a very, very good medication for stubborn itching when other remedies aren't helping."

"At the start of every summer for 5 years, my son gets the worst mystery rash on his back (contact dermatitis), they call it. We just can't figure out what that contact is. It has itched so badly in the past that he had actually scratched himself bloody and had to be sedated at the ER. Finally, his doctor prescribed Lidex 0.05%, and almost instant relief. It's been amazing. No side effects to date for him. I don't know who created it, but thank you."
