"I had a very itchy rash on the outside of both lower legs, also, what at first was an itchy red spot became quite large on the back of my calf. My doctor prescribed a cortisone cream that didn't help. Tried some other creams, but no improvement. My legs were a mess for 12 months. Then I saw another doctor who prescribed Elocon, which I used for 3 weeks, and the rash cleared up. That was 3 months ago. I am 75 years old. I will use it again if I need to."

"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."

"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."

"As others have said, this product can work wonders. However, it is very potent, so take care to spread thinly as the instructions state. Also, it's vitally important to only use for very short periods of time. Personally, I'd use it for just 24 hours, then stop and use a simple emollient for a few days. Respect the ointment!"
