For Eczema "Literally at the end of my tether with scalp eczema. Was prescribed Elocon scalp lotion by my dermatologist. After one day, scalp so much better; itching has gone, weeping and stickiness have gone. Have used the Elocon ointment on eczema on my body and found this to be equally effective. Excellent results."

For Eczema "I was getting angry, itchy, red patches on my cheeks that went scaly and looked awful. Mindful of the need to be very cautious with such a steroid medication on the face, I used the thinnest, tiniest amount just on the red areas. I applied it first late evening. When I got up in the morning, I was astonished and delighted to see a 90% improvement, redness virtually gone and no itching. This stuff is potent and highly effective. 24 - 36 hours should be enough to completely solve my issue. Very happy."

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."

For Eczema "I tried all the creams the doctors could give us for my little boy, and only Elocon has worked. He is a very happy boy, gone from itching, bleeding, crying in pain as a baby to a normal, happy school boy."

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 Psoriasis "My doctor prescribed Elocon lotion for my flaky, itchy scalp. It does work well, and my hair is much cleaner with no itching. But still some small flaking, but nothing major. Definitely an improvement."

"I have had a skin problem on the back of my hands for about 12 years. A red itching under the skin followed by the affected area of skin peeling. This is very unsightly. I think it was caused by handling blood and bone while working in a garden nursery. Elocon appears to have cured this after one week of treatment. I hope it is permanent."
