I have had eczema since a baby and this cream has worked tremendously to ease symptoms--especially when the itching would flare up

This would dry out my skin & I sometimes get eczema around my ears. I had to pour some on my fingers to apply it & it burned like crazy & made them dry too which caused more itching.

I experience what my dermatologist diagnosed as atopic dermatitis on my ankles, calves, thighs and buttocks during the winter months. Had been using hydrocortisone creams and cold compresses to suppress the rash and itching for a few years before going to see dermatologist. He prescribed Betamethasone Valerate and it helped immediately. Reduces the rash and eliminates the itch allowing me to sleep. I have been using it to help control the outbreaks for the past few years.

I have Dyshidrotic Eczema on my feet. I applied this ointment for 5 days twice daily and I have not seen much improvement. I am not sleeping at night due to the itching and must get up several times during the night to wash my feet in cold water. After reading more reviews it looks like Clobetasol is more effective and I have a note into my doctor now for a perscription for that instead.

This did not work for my psoriasis and it actually made me more itchy and the ointment which my dermatologist said was more effective than cream was messy and stained clothes and bedding. The only topical that worked for me was clobetasol.

I have used this for over 2 years. It was prescribed when my insurance would no longer cover clobetasol - which was a disappointment. Clobetasol worked wonders. This medication only puts a bandaid on my psoriasis. It also burns my scalp. It does help with itching, but it does not help with flakes - in fact it almost makes them worse.

Used this product for years but only if I really need to due to atopic dermatitis. Works very quickly and effectively.

My son had dry scalp/ soars on his scalp. I tried other treatments and nothing worked. My dermatologist prescribed this to apply on his scalp and it was a miracle product.

I had acquired a rash of unknown origin under my arms, around ackles up my calves and on my butt cheeks. Applied as directed by Dr. 2-3 times a day when possible but did very little to clear up the rash. It did make these areas redder when used. This is the 3rd. Topical Cream I have used, thus I must say that it was not effective for me. Used it for 10 days.

My doctor presribed this to me after I developed an allergic reaction to a facewash. My face was horribly dry, very red, and painful. In addition to no makeup, soap, or lotion, this medicine seemed to cleared it up in a few days. It did sting badly though when i applied it to my face, but I think that is just the alcohol in the medicine.

I use this medication on the inside of my ears and also on my face especially arouns my nose and the area on my cheeks around my nose. These are the areas that tend to flair up the most. Sometimes it will flare up around the sides of my mouth, so I apply it there too. I do find that if I apply it to the inside of my ears everyday I get these pimples like from having to much grease on the skin. This problem doesn't seem to happen on my face. My doctor prescribed it for my ears but I tried it on my face one night because I couldn't take the itching anymore and it responded to the medication. HELPFUL TIP!!! The best way I have found to apply to the inside of the ear is to squeeze the ointment onto the tip of a cotton swab (Q-TIP) and slightly stick it inside the ear end turn it around so that it gets applied to all areas inside of the ear. MY doctor told me to never stop using this medicine. HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS HELPFUL TO SOMEONE.Read More Read Less
