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 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."

For Psoriasis "I was on Elocon for a few years for my scalp psoriasis. I decided to give it up, but no one told me of the side effects! I came out with red blotches on my face and little tiny spots. It started around the eyes and gradually crept down under the eyes and onto my cheeks. It lasted two weeks, and I had to have antibiotics. The doc eventually suggested I only use it once or twice a week, but these wretched spots keep coming back. What can I do, please? Any suggestions? It’s a wonderful steroid if one wants to stay on steroids!"
