"My uncle and I both suffer from psoriasis-his is big, sand dollar-sized patches all over his body, and mine is on my eyelids, my scalp, my eyebrows, and has just now started appearing on my right arm. We were both prescribed desonide, which thankfully our insurance covers. After one day's use (2x a day), my eyelids are perfectly healthy again, and the smaller patches on my uncle's legs are nearly gone. We had been searching for something-anything-that would work for us for a few years now, so we both feel like this simple ointment is a miracle cure. We have seen no side effects so far and are beyond thrilled!!"

Desonide topical "Works extremely well on the face. If you have a flare-up, it takes 2 days to disappear. That's the only reason I give it an 8 instead of a 10."

"Instructed by my dermatologist to use 2 times per day for up to two weeks. Worked beautifully until I discontinued using it. Not sure if that was her intention, to determine whether I needed a stronger dose or oral medicines for this problem. I am very happy with the results, as long as I can continue using it."
