My dermatologist diagnosed my lower face, chin and neck "redness" as eczema in April. He prescribed Desonide (0.05%) ointment 2-3 times a day. Condition usually clears up in one day and I stop use. I repeat treatment whenever I get another flare-up, maybe once every week to 10 days. Works for me.

I was given this Rx because I had pimple-like lesions on both sides of my face at the temple area. My Dr. said he didn't know what this was, but gave me this Rx.Desonide. Said he thought it was caused by nerves. I had some relief at first, but the skin condition came back. He still doesn't know what it is. I am on Tetracycline now. He says it isn't Rosacia?(sp), but is going to treat ... Show Full Comment

He says it isn't Rosacia?(sp), but is going to treat it like that's what it is...??? It dries up some when I wash w/ Selsun Blue shampoo. My primary Dr. thought it was inflamation of the hair follicles I went to this recent Dr after that, who is a Dermatologist...for a second opinion. He said to use the Selsun Blue. These breakouts don't have any pus or fluid in them. I picked and scratched at them at first. This made them worse. I have stopped the Desonide since he put me on the Tetracycline. I have taken it about 5 days now... Really the Selsun Blue has helped more than anything. I told Derm. I washed my hair w/ it and also the sides of my face where the breakouts are. It dries them up pretty well. They don't itch or burn, they're just kinda "Out there", and bothersome. Guess I'll just keep taking the T. til next week when I go back for a follow-up. I just wonder why he has no idea as to what this is. Wish I knew. It's kinda bad when a Dermatologist doesn't know what a skin condition is...

My son has allergies to just about everything - he is always covered in hives or some sort of rash. And usually with in 24 hours of using this lotion it is cleared up and he is a much happier baby.

My 7 year old son has a skin condition. He was prescribed the Desonide Cream by his dermatologist. I applied the cream before bedtime and when my son awoke the next morning both of his eyes where swollen. But...I also have a skin condition on my hand, and after applying the cream it worked fine.
