Elocon (mometasone) 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 for just 24 hours then stop and use a simple emollient for a few days. Respect the ointment!"

Elocon (mometasone) 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."

Elocon (mometasone) "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 whilst working in a garden nursery. Elocon appears to have cured this after one week of treatment. I hope it is permanent."

Elocon (mometasone) 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 amazing as Elocon!! I found that if I moisturize my hands with Genes vitamin E Creme first (available at Sams 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!!"
Are you taking this medicine?

Elocon (mometasone) 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 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 "Mometasone is a life-changer. Before this medication I was constantly feeling like ants were crawling on my scalp and I had loads of scabs from the itching. The itching would be so bad I’d have to take showers mid-day to relieve the itch. This medication eliminated that itch almost immediately. I put a few drops on my scalp right after a showre and I don’t notice itching anymore. The scabs mainly went away in the 1st week and don’t seem to be returning. Wish I’d started this med sooner!"

For Atopic Dermatitis "After 6 months of trying "everything," including OTC steroids for a pernicious itchy rash on my neck and face, AI got a tube of Mometasone. The cream totally eliminated the scaly, bumpy, red, itching and burning in 36 hours (after 1 application). I used a "thin film" as recommended once a day for a week, and that has solved this agonizing problem I call it miraculous, and couldn't be more satisfied. Restores my faith in medication! Note that it says NOT to use for extended periods."

For Psoriasis "It's almost too good to be true. I've tried every cream and shampoo with little to no effect on my psoriasis until my doctor prescribed mometasone. It's been a week now and I've reduced those red itchy patches to twice their sizes. I'm so happy now. Strongly recommended."

Elocon (mometasone) for Psoriasis "My doctor prescribed Elocon lotion for my flaky, itchy scalp. It does work well, and your hair is much cleaner with no itching. But still, some small flaking, but nothing major. Definitely an improvement."

For Psoriasis "I want to say that this cream does suspend the effects of Psoriasis and you do feel good when you see clear skin for that period of time. However, I have been using this cream for ten years now and I can only wonder if there is something out there that is safer and would have more permanent results. I know this is hard to deal with but hang in there - clear days ahead."
