Elocon (mometasone) 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 smooth. Almost seems miraculous - the skin looks practically normal, with no thinning or side effects so far. After reading the other reviews, 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! "

Elocon (mometasone) 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 in in the house at all times when flare-ups occur."

Elocon (mometasone) for Psoriasis "I have had psoriasis for 17 years and have had many visits to the specialist. Although my psoriasis is not what they class as severe it effects my world in a severe way as it is on visual parts of my body that are difficult to hide (especially in summer). Elocon was the first ointment to take the red appearance from the psoriasis and also make some areas look normal again. It has lost its inflammatory appearance and is lessoning in size. I would highly recommend others to give it a go. "

Elocon (mometasone) 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."

Elocon (mometasone) for Eczema "I have been using the Elocon lotion everytime when 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 researches, but it seems Elocon did the job impressively well. Got my life back. Ps. #1 cure Elocon"

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

For Eczema "This is definitely 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 awhile to see what happens."

Elocon (mometasone) 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."

Elocon (mometasone) for Eczema "literally the only thing that has worked to help my Eczema! I was told by the doctor to apply out of shower then put lotion( I use Eucerin smoothing its not to sticky and leaves ur skin soft) since the Elocon can dry out skin. Works like a charm only down side is if you use for to long can cause thin skin and stretch marks so be careful."

Elocon (mometasone) 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 dissapears, 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 moisturiser."

Elocon (mometasone) for Eczema "I had terrible eczema since a baby. I was prescribed countless creams until a doctor prescribed me Elocon. This cream was my saviour 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!"

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

For Psoriasis "I have been suffering from pruritus ani which is 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 15gms tube of Momin cream. The results are wonderful. In just two days time my scrotal and anal itch is gone!"

Elocon (mometasone) "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 near 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."

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 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 steriod"

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 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 colour. 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 incase."

Elocon (mometasone) for Eczema "I wish I'd have 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 & after years of [heavy] use- it caused thinning & irreparable skin stretch marks & 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, after just a few short days, the eczema reappears & the cycle of chasing eczema with Elocon begins. Getting completely off it IS a complete nightmare & support is best sought from a natural doctor who will prescribe natural alternatives to help heal your system & not just mask a problem from an aesthetic view-point. I went through 'red-skin syndrome' or TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) & even on my melanated skin- I looked like an inflamed, weeping, crusting, cherry. Avoid."

For Eczema "My 3 year old son suffers from eczema! It is one of the worst cases his doctor has seen. He scratches till it bleeds. It's behind his legs, between his fingers, bends of his arms. He has been using this cream for about 3 days only. As of now it is helping but not cleared up completely!"

For Eczema "I’ve used mometasone for about 7-8 years and it has helped my skin tremendously. I’ve had moderate to severe eczema since the age of 6. I’ve tried all types of different creams and medicines to help heal and keep my skin under control. This medicine by far is the best! It comes as a cream & an ointment, it doesn’t sting or leave a strong odor, however, the cream does leave a bit of a trace especially when applied to dry skin. I use dove sensitive skin body wash, either aveeno skin relief moisturizing lotion and mometasone and my skin is generally pretty clear. I would definitely recommend a try!"

"I started out having chapped lips about six months ago. Went to a doctor and then a dermatologist three times. My condition kept getting worse and finally I saw a new dermatologist. By the time I saw the new doctor my lips, above my lip was raw. He recommended mometasone and within one day my condition was 95% gone. It is a miracle cream."

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! 2 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 its gone in 2 days again. Love it!"
