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."

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 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."

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."

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."

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."

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 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!"

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."

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."

"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."

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 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."

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 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."

For Dermatitis "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!"

For Psoriasis "Had severe psoriasis for eight months. I suffer from guttate psoriasis, and after I got strep throat ages ago, my psoriasis flared up! I used every cream I could get, and none of them worked. Until I found Elocon cream, and my body has never looked so clear in months. Would strongly recommend this steroid cream to anyone who is suffering from psoriasis. I can finally show some skin, and I'm happy. I'm still treating it, but it's going away."

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!"

For Eczema "I have used Elocon for myself and all of my children. We all have very sensitive skin and get very bad eczema. Within one use, it usually helps clear it up so quickly. I highly recommend this medication, and if you use non-perfumed lotions daily, you don’t need to use the medication often. They can be used on an as-needed basis."

"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."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I used Elocon cream for several weeks to clear the sides of my nose (pigmentation), and it got cured 90%. But I got some pimples on my nose after using this cream, and now there are pimple marks on my nose."
