8.9
For Dermatitis: I've had severe eczema since I was 13. I'm now 30. My Dr has put me on so many different meds for it that I began to lose hope. It would swell up and get really itchy. I have eczema behind, on, and inside both of my ears. It's also embarrassing because people would ask if I knew I was bleeding out the ear all the time. After yrs of no relief I switched Dr's. The new Dr put me on betamethasone and after using it for only 2 weeks it cleared up to the point that it was almost gone! I thought nothing would help it and that I was stuck with it for the rest of my life with no relief. I'm glad I was wrong! Every couple of years I will get flare ups, and all I have to do is put the betamethasone on it and it's gone the next day. Definitely recommend this. |

For Allergic Reactions: I had poison ivy on my face and left eye lid. This cream stopped the itching and gave me relief. For Allergic Reactions: I had a horrible rash on my hand and nothing seemed to even start to clear up the rash until I used triamcinolone. Now you can hardly believe I had anything wrong at all. The only caution I would give is "use it as instructed" as with all medications. |
