For Psoriasis "I was diagnosed with Psoriasis on my knee by my dermatologist almsot 7 years ago, and he prescribed Cordran tape for me. It took about 10 months or so, but the spreading of the psoriasis (caused by me itching at it while I was sleeping) stopped and my skin healed. I no longer use Cordran tape, as now the only symptom I ever have is a slight itchy feeling every once in a while. This stuff is great!"

For Eczema "I tried many steroid medications for eczema on my hands and wrists, but nothing helped. In desperation, the dermatologist gave me a bag of samples to try. Cordran tape was the last sample to test, and it worked like magic. Within 2 weeks, it cleared the eczema that I'd suffered from for over 30 years. It's been more than 5 years now, and it has never returned. It was truly miraculous for me."

For Eczema "For what it is worth, I'm a scientist at FDA and after having tried all other topical steroid creams, a dermatologist prescribed this product and it flat-out worked. I was very surprised and delighted."

For Psoriasis "This is wonderful!! I have psoriasis on all of my joints.. elbows, knees, and ankles. I have used ointments for years and most recently they have not been helpful, in fact the plaques have spread to my wrist and sides of my feet. I was just prescribed Cordran Tape a week ago, and after only 4 applications, it's almost completely clear. I am floored by the success of this tape, and although it's the most expensive medication I've used so far ($50 after insurance), I will continue to use it for any future flare ups."

For Eczema "I have severely cracked fingertips and this tape is the only thing that ever helped. I got a new Rx for it and now cannot find it anywhere! I have been searching for three weeks, thought I had it through CVS but received a call today after another week of waiting for it to arrive in the mail that it is unavailable. My fingertips hurt so much they wake me up at night throbbing. I don't know what has happened with this tape but it was great!"

For Psoriasis "This stuff is amazing! I had one spot of Psoriasis on my knuckle and this tape healed it within one week. I didn't apply as much as recommended (twice daily) and it still reduced the red, scaly, thick skin. I work in sales and I'm no longer self conscience about shaking hands the big deal."

For Dermatitis "I live in the high desert of Central Oregon and have sensitive skin problems on my fingers and thumbs due to the elevation and dryness. I have found that by wrapping a piece of the tape over the end of my finger or thumb overnight helps heal the red soreness. It is much better than any of the lotions. The only problem is that it sticks to itself and thus can be difficult to cut and apply."

For Dermatitis "I react to the spines of cactus This tape is the only med that heals the rash. After many lotions failed I was ecstatic that my dermatologist prescribed this. I don't know what I would do without it."

"The area where it is applied on my back is not visible to me. According to my wife, the large scar area continues to look better. Something that I have noticed is that when it is applied just before bed, I tend to have some very bizarre dreams! Not nightmares, just bizarre!"

"Cordran Tape was prescribed to prevent thickened skin after minor dermatology surgery. It remained unused for a while in my medicine cabinet, until frustration at the constant failure of over-the-counter medications for corns and calluses, made me decide to try it on a large, persistent callus. The result was remarkable. The callus began thinning within a week of using Cordran. After years of trying just about everything on the market, Cordran was close to a miracle in dissolving my large (1 inch diameter), painful, embarrassing, unsightly and unrelenting callus. For the first time in over three decades and even more shoes, I was able to start seeing my real skin. Used as prescribed (apply every 2 days), I simply had to cut-to-fit and wrap my foot with medical tape to keep it in place when I wore my shoes. Almost finished, I thought of approaching my doctor about an off-label use and a new prescription but was informed by the manufacturer that the product is no longer on the market."
