Mometasone topical for Eczema "Literally the only thing that has worked to help my eczema! I was told by the doctor to apply out of the shower, then put lotion (I use Eucerin smoothing, it's not too sticky and leaves your skin soft) since the Elocon can dry out skin. Works like a charm, the only downside is if you use it for too long, it can cause thin skin and stretch marks, so be careful."

Mometasone topical for Dermatitis "I have used Elocon for several years for frequent contact dermatitis on my hands, between my fingers and under rings, behind my knees, and for poison ivy or sumac. It relieves itching and redness very quickly, and you only need a very small amount - apply sparingly. Episodes are over in about three days in my experience. I keep it in the house at all times when flare-ups occur."

Mometasone topical for Eczema "I have been using the Elocon lotion every time eczema was there, it cured. Just speechless, and I'm thankful I got the Elocon lotion for the first time when I suffered eczema since I have tried everything out there and done a lot of research, but it seems Elocon did the job impressively well. Got my life back. P.S. #1 cure Elocon."

Mometasone topical for Atopic Dermatitis "If only I'd found out about this cream earlier! I suffer from dermatitis on my face (brought on by stress), and tried everything else first, but this was the only thing that worked. Took about 2 days for me."

Mometasone topical for Dermatitis "I was suffering from a skin condition for 13 years, in my scrotum. After spending thousands of dollars with specialists, I used Elocon for a week, and my life was back on track. Thanks to Elocon, I have my life back."

Mometasone topical for Psoriasis "I have had seborrheic dermatitis since I was 15 years old. I am now 38, and thanks to Elocon Scalp Lotion, I have everything under control. I apply the lotion to my hairline and rub it in once a week. Within 2 days, for some reason, the redness in my face disappears, feels supple, and I pretty much am able to forget about my condition. I also wash my face every evening with SBR Lipo Cream as a moisturizer."

Mometasone topical for Eczema "I have tried many treatments for my eczema, and this, and its generic form, have been the best. I get dry skin, redness, and cracking between my fingers, at the wrist, and sometimes on the lower arm. One treatment at night, and by morning, the redness is gone, irritation gone, and after the 2nd day of treatment, no signs or symptoms of the eczema."

Mometasone topical for Eczema "I had terrible eczema since a baby. I was prescribed countless creams until a doctor prescribed me Elocon. This cream was my savior, and I soon became so dependent on it. However, my skin started to really lighten, and I started having excess facial hair on my face. Now, when I stop using it, these painful small white bumps come all over my face. I don’t recommend! Search up topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). It’s only good for short-term use!"

Mometasone topical for Psoriasis "I've had scalp psoriasis for 20 years, and this is the only thing that works for me. Tar shampoo can be effective, but not if it takes me an hour to comb out my hair after... (I have long, thick hair). Elocon lotion works instantly! I will say that it stings if you have an open sore from scratching, but if you use it regularly, it makes an amazing difference. I would suggest the lotion over the cream for scalp psoriasis. I'm sure the cream would work better for your body."

Mometasone topical for Eczema "I wish I'd understood the side effects BEFORE I started using this ointment in my late teens. At first, it was a miracle as it acts very fast. DO NOT USE IT LONG TERM. The doctor didn't tell me this, and after years of heavy use, it caused thinning, irreparable skin, stretch marks, and delicate skin. When you try to get off it (in my personal experience), it's as if your body cannot be OK without it. Even though your skin may look eczema-free, when you think you can stop using it, after just a few short days, the eczema reappears, and the cycle of chasing eczema with Elocon begins. Getting completely off it IS a complete nightmare, and support is best sought from a natural doctor who will prescribe natural alternatives to help heal your system and not just mask a problem from an aesthetic viewpoint. I went through 'red-skin syndrome' or TSW (topical steroid withdrawal), and even on my melanated skin, I looked like an inflamed, weeping, crusting cherry. Avoid."

For Psoriasis "I have been suffering from pruritus ani, which means itchy anus. I suffered for some 4 years. I am also having itchy scrotums, maybe due to psoriasis and/or eczema. Just two days ago, while searching the net for a good cure, I came across the generic name mometasone furoate. I inquired with my chemist and bought myself a 15g tube of Momin cream. The results are wonderful. In just two days, my scrotal and anal itch is gone!"

For Eczema "This is definitely a miracle cream, no doubt about it. I have been using it for about 14 years on my hands to treat eczema breakouts. However, I was not warned about using it for long-term treatment, and my doctor gives me refills when I ask for it. I am only now finding out about possible nasty steroid withdrawal symptoms if I stop using it. After using it for such a long time, I'm concerned, but I plan to stop using it for a while to see what happens."

Mometasone topical "I've had eczema since I was six weeks old. A few weeks ago, I turned 23. I still suffer from severe eczema, but let me tell you, Elocon is miraculous. I've seen many doctors who have prescribed me many different cortisone creams and the like, but since I've been introduced to Elocon, I never went back to any of the others. When my skin splits, particularly on sensitive (and quite painful) areas, such as the knuckles, I put Elocon right in the crack and by the next day, without fail, the wound will have either formed a skin over the top or healed nearly completely. I use it all over my body and would recommend this to anyone who suffers. I'm sure anyone who endures the frustration of suffering from skin diseases would agree."

Mometasone topical for Eczema "Took my son to the allergist for testing, but he couldn't due to raised bumps on his back, so he prescribed Elocon. I got the generic solution that comes in a squeeze dropper. I apply about 6 drops to the affected area, followed by cruel lotion, which is good for replacing ceramides and hydration. I started late evening, and by the following morning, I saw a big improvement. By day 3, my son was a new person. Very satisfied so far, hope he doesn't relapse."

Mometasone topical for Eczema "I started using Elocon yesterday, and today my face is almost clear. Was prescribed by my doctor because I had some small bumps on my face for over a month. He said it was eczema. I’m glad my face is getting clear, I’m so happy."

For Psoriasis "I've had psoriasis for 4 years now, since I was about 14. Nothing ever worked for me. The doctors could never figure out what it was. It got so bad at one point my face was infected. Finally, I discovered Topicort, a steroid-based ointment that showed dramatic results. I mean, I could use it right out of the shower, and I would be spot-free for months. A few tips on how to control psoriasis: use fragrance-free lotion, powder foundation, almost natural body mists/perfumes, laundry soap, and softer sheets/liquid without harsh smells-those can lead to serious breakouts. Try changing your bath soap to body wash that is gentle and soap-free. Aveeno and Neutrogena are the best products for me. Good luck."

For Eczema "Using mometasone steroid cream once a day after showering before I went to bed was the best solution to my eczema every time it got bad. I used to always struggle with eczema, and hydrocortisone never worked! If you are in a similar scenario, this one is a stronger steroid."

Mometasone topical for Atopic Dermatitis "I’ve suffered from atopic dermatitis and eczema my entire life. It used to be on my feet, which was awful. It moved to behind my knees and elbows. Now, I only get eruptions on my hands/wrists. I have tried so many creams, moisturizers, potions, and lotions over my 40 years of life, but nothing works as amazingly as Elocon!! I found that if I moisturize my hands with Gene's Vitamin E Creme first (available at Sam's Club) and let that soak in for an hour, then apply Elocon, it’s the money right there. Within a day, my flare-up looks 75% better, within 2 days, it’s easy to stop treatment... it’s almost entirely cleared up. You really need that 3rd day of Elocon-that’s when it clears up completely and doesn’t come back for a while. Also amazed how, in spite of heavy itching, bleeding, oozing, big cracks in skin, and scabs, sometimes infections on my hands, I never have a scar. Elocon for the win!!"

For Eczema "Was prescribed this ointment by my GP after I suffered several bald spots on my scalp. I have no idea why they appeared as I was not under stress at the time. After about a week of using Elocon, the hair started to grow back, the only thing being that it grew white. I have brown hair. After about 6-8 weeks, the hair grew through with my natural color. Couldn't be more pleased. Thought I may have to shave the lot off, but 6 years on, still no reoccurrence but kept a tube just in case."

For Dermatitis "I have otitis externa. My doctor prescribed mometasone for my outer ears as they get unbearable itching. I use this cream. What a difference this makes! Two days of using this and my ears are 100% better for a while. Since this is a chronic condition, when it flares up, I grab my tube of this cream and it's gone in two days again. Love it!"

Mometasone topical for Psoriasis "After applying for about 3 days, almost all of the spots on my torso and back were almost gone. Huge relief after progressively worsening lesion size and feeling like a monster! The psoriasis behind my ears is also gone, and the skin is smooth. Almost seems miraculous - the skin looks practically normal, with no thinning or side effects so far. After reading the other reviews, I would really like to try the scalp lotion too! It's been years and years since last going to a dermatologist or trying a medicated cream, and the return to normal skin tone is delightful. Especially with a wedding in 3 months!"
