After gardening without gloves, developed a rash, appears to be poison OAK. Its was extremely itchy. I used benadryl topical initially. It works ok but this is a miracle drug in comparison. It really eliminates the itching.

After several weeks of 2xdaily use this drug caused purple blotches on arms and legs and blood blisters which ruptured and bled, also some hair loss. No more effective than betnovate or hydrocortisone. Use discontinued. Different medication proscribed.

My beautiful 3yr. old grandson has/had itchy pimple looking bumps mostly on his back, chest and belly for well over a year now. None of the other medications and body washes prescribed previously worked. I have been using this cream as directed for 1 week today, and it works! He hasn’t asked us to scratch his back for a few days now. I haven’t noticed, nor has he complained of any negative side effects.

I developed a mild-medium allergic reaction to a facial product, and the skin around my eyes became inflamed, red, dry & itchy. I took Benadryl orally for a few days but everything topical stung, including OTC hydrocortisone. This product, .1% strength, did not and my skin started improving immediately.

Itch in both ears - drove me crazy - would stick in any sharp object just to scratch. Dr. prescribed and it immediately went away although I need to reapply once every month or two.

I was prescribed this ointment by my ENT for my ringing of the ear and itching. Needless to say, it didn't work. After reading what the purpose of the ointment and I couldn't figure out why she would prescribe this ointment for my ringing and itching. That is why I gave it aa poor rating. Was my ENT right to prescribe this ointment?

Had a chemical reaction on my scalp that started spreading, going in and around my ears. Suffered for 2 years and nothing seemed to work. All the other medication tried to minimise the symptoms without much success. Doctor prescribed this as alternative when the usual medicine was out of stock. Turned out to be a life saver! Results were visible within 3days. Now using intermittently. Will use at first sight of the scaliness.

I was prescribed this at the middle of last year for my mild scalp psoriasis. I found it very easy to apply since the form I used was a lotion that was applied through a nozzle. It starting working the first day. I only used it for 7 days maximum once per month. This past Christmas, I felt my psoriasis flaring up again. I used this for 7 days in a row (prescribed maximum stretch of use). After the 6th day the hair on my scalp started falling out. I stopped use and my hair has continued to fall out now for 30 days. I'm at about 80% hair loss. The rate of loss has slowed dramatically this past week. Although hair loss is not listed as a side effect, we have no other correlation at this point for my hair loss (no other meds, no stress [other than when my hair started falling out], no sickness, using same hair products for 10 years). Pattern of hair loss is telogen effluvium but very extensive.Read More Read Less

I had an dermatitis flare up on my cheek and it was driving me insane. I was also recovering from a skin infection on my ear and my ENT prescribed me with cream for my cheek and allowed me to experiment with it on my ear because it was still a little red after the Infection went away. I’ve been using the cream for 5 days now and it has done wonders. My cheek doesn’t itch at all and it’s not as red, it’s slowly going down to it’s natural colour. I’ve been putting a little on my ear and it hasn’t done harm, I’ve been putting it on my ear lobe and it feels more smooth now. So far it’s helped a lot. Read More Read Less

I am at the end of 25 radiation therapy sessions post-surgery for breast cancer. Before my sessions started, a friend who is an oncology nurse shared a study using mometasone corticosteroid cream as a preventative (as opposed to waiting to treat issues after they arise). I apply just after my radiation, and again before bedtime -- and although I understand that skin issues may arise up to a couple of weeks after the radiation treatments stop, I believe using this preventatively has helped me tremendously. I am grateful my radiologist was open to giving this approach a try, as many doctors don't like to mess with what they have been doing for years. I love the idea of using something preventatively instead of chasing symptoms it after there are issues. You can google to find summaries of the study if you are facing radiation therapy.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this for sever eczema in my inner ear. My dermatologist told me to use cortisone but it didn’t begin to help it. I went to my ENT and she prescribed this. I put it on a q-tip and insert into the ear canal twice a week. After the first application, my ears no longer itches, the flakiness was clearing up, and my hearing was back to normal because the inflammation went away. Miracle drug! I also have anal itching and use this once a month to keep that at bay. Works like a charm. My mother has been on a multitude of really expensive creams and pills for her eczema and nothing has touched it. She used this once and it cleared it right up. My doctor gave her a prescription for it! Read More Read Less

I used this ointment for my severe dry skin when I was a child and it worked then. But I am submitting my review for something that happened recently. I have had a severely dry philtrum (skin between upper lip and nose) for over 3 years. I felt embarrassed by it and I had some extra cream and applied it to my skin. Results happened within 1 day! This is my life saver!

Used for mild condition of eczema. From time to time, could be days, weeks, or months in between... I develop eczema inside my ears, behind my ears, around my hair line, and even in my eyebrows. If I start to see any type of dry, flaky skin... I just apply this to the affected area. Within 1-2 days it’s cleared up and no longer visible. I just use a needed. Works great!!

worked when other treatments failed to clear up a sore along side of buttocks that just would not go away. It was an under skin lump that flared up off and on and made driving and sitting very painful.As an OTR trucker I was almost at point of quitting job. Glad this simple cheap drug was effective. Keeps pain at bay and it will come back every 3-4 months.I use drug for a weeks pain goes away then comes back every 3-4 months. IMy doc gives me several tubes so I alsways have some on hand.

I had a sore at the very top of my but crack that never quite healed the skin was not broken but it was always sore, nothing ever helped it. It was only about a 1 or 2 on pain scale but it was constant. Finally a doc prescribed mometsome and it went away in 3 days every 5-6 months the sore tends to return and then a few dabs of mometasone and it goes away for another few months.I suffered for nearly 5 years when it could have been solved with momtasone

Prescribed for a welted rash above my ankle that I couldn’t manage with OTC excema cream. After using it twice a day for almost a month, it is halfway gone, still slightly itchy. I was hoping for better outcome by now.
