This stuff really works quickly, and the results are dramatic. Rather expensive without insurance, but worth every penny. The only "side effect" I noticed was RELIEF!

This medicine helped my eczema a lot, however, it came with a very unfortunate side effect: stretch marks. I have them behind my left knee and on my thighs. I switched to another doctor and she gave me a new medicine. To this day, the stretch marks have not gone away and I'm not sure they ever will. It's really very unfortunate.

I have used approx. 20 of these cream. One issue I found with it is, tube get punctured from sides when you try to squeeze at bottom. If start happening as soon as tube get some space after few use. I think quality of material used to make tube packing is not good. I did raised question to manufacturer of this drug and provided them sample tube for quality check but they have not responded. I also contacted FDA but no answer.

It seemed to help at first. But if it also can cause my dermatitis to spread if it comes in contact with skin. And actually this last flare up has resulted in it really getting red and blistered more than what it originally was. It also takes two weeks for it to go away but this time it hasn't gone away. Often times the dermatitis will go away for two weeks and come back. This is in the winter. Sumner I usually dont have dermatitis. I'm not sure what ti do as it doesnt make sense that it always come back. And never heals. I've had it for six years. I have no reaction to contact dermatitis on any other part of my body. It was only on one leg for six years. This winter it came out on my other leg which has never happened before ever. Its wierd. I said to my doctor maybe I'm having to use a communal laundry and that could be the problem. Read More Read Less

My rash was very itchy and it burned. On my lower back, both sides of my knees, the back of my forearms, back of my neck, under my shoulder straps etc After 7 months of no relief, I was given DESOXIMETASONE and it works!

This is the only medicine that gave my son relief from eczema on his entire body. He has used it for 5 years...when needed. I used waaaaayy less than prescribed on my 6 year old son. I asked the doctor to take his script down a notch because it is strong and has been on it for so long. He now takes Fluticasone. This medicine was a miracle for my son to get relief from itching all over his body for 5 years. Lets see how the new prescription does.

This medication does not have propylene glycol (preservative). I was prescribed other topical creams/ointments that had it and it caused my skin condition to worsen. Topicort helped immediately. I now use prn.

This is the best medicine and only medicine that has worked for my son. His dermatitis was so bad it was blistering. After a couple days was gone. Any time it pops it's head back up we just apply the cream for a couple days and he's all good.

My doctor prescribed this medicine to me and within 2 to 3 days, I could tell a different. The itching was better and instead of waking up at night itching, I am able to sleep better. I am very please with the medicine.

I guess I am not fair in saying this medication hasn't worked cause I have had this disease for over 10 years and it has gotten out of hand. But, this cream doesn't absorb quickly and that's why I don't like using it.

The skin on my legs were red and kind of swelling somewhat. The redness was quite disturbing. After using this medication the redness is completely gone and my legs are back to normal. The only side effect is the hair is growing like crazy on my legs. The wife kids me about this.

I use this medication for occasional poison ivy and oak outbreaks and it does the trick for me relieving itching and spreading of the rash. I also use it in conjunction with Tecnu poison ivy and oak oil remover soap. Works great!

This is the only medication that has brought me relief! It has dramatically improved the appearance of the skin on the back of my neck and chest where I suffer from atopic dermatitis. My doctor prescribed the desoximetasone along with another topical drug, but I have only renewed the prescription for desox. because of how effective it was. I would strongly recommend this for anyone coping with a similar skin condition.

I contracted poison ivy (I am VERY allergic)& my doctor prescribed this for me. I am extremely cautious with medicine and I hesitated to use it after reading some reviews but I am 100% happy that I used this. Within 24 hours my rash is almost gone. I have had ZERO side effects! Until yesterday, my rash was still weeping and spreading but thanks to this, I am almost healed.
