User Reviews for fluocinonide topical

I had sweat rash; doctor prescribe this. It's oily and irritative, it didn't help the itchness or swelling. In my case, it's not a good med for sweat rash. Burning hot water did a better job - eventually some skins die off and symptom go away (but it may come back with you sweat a lot again). I hate sweat rash, and this thing didn't help me :(

I have been struggling to treat my eczema naturally for over 2 years. My left arm was the most problematic spot, and would often get infected and leak fluid from the skin / constantly red and blistering, because of me scratching in my sleep. I have used fluocinonide ointment for 3 days on the left arm and it has cleared up almost to looking completely normal again. I am amazed and so thankful that this medication exists. Once My arm gets healed up, i will maintain my skin with lotion. But the steroid cream is helping the damaged skin to heal quickly. Amazing!Read More Read Less

My skin didn't seem to react at all to this cream. I noticed very little or no reduction in itchiness.

Be very careful with this medication! My dermatologist prescribed it for my itchy scalp and ears (no rash or dandruff). It did relieve my itch some temporarily especially with the scalp. But my doctor later warned me to not take it more than 14 days and after that only for flareups. The problem is I had no "flareups," unless I applied this frequently it was itchy all the time! I was told it has some severe reactions including your hair not growing or your hair falling out. So I decided that the short-term relief I had was not worth the risk. I do not use it anymore.Read More Read Less

I have what I think is foot fungus so I saw a podiatrist and he prescribed this in ointment form. It has worked extremely well although it hasn't cured the problem. Once my skin has cleared up I'm able to go for several days before reapplication is needed. I'm not a fan of ointments thus,the four star rating for ease of use.

I want to know why I only get 0.01% and not 0.05% like the person before says. mine would go away if I had a stronger dose. HELP!

I used to have severe plaque psoriasis on my forehead, and it drove me especially nuts during marching band season and had me to the edge of tears when I had to put my hair in a ponytail (my bangs covered it, and it was my only hope for covering my psoriasis up) to put it in my hat, and everyone would see my embarrassing condition on my forehead. My dermatologist prescribed me this, and I am now able to wear my hair up and not be worried about people seeing my psoriasis, as it has cleared up to the point where I only have to use this one or twice a week!

I've been using it for many years. Whenever I become aware of an area of severe itching I apply a thin film to it. The itching sensation subsides within hours and never returns to the affected area.

Didn't help me much, although perhaps I'm expecting too much. I'm hoping that some day my dermatologist can find something that completely eliminates my itchy scalp, not just calm it down for a half day or so.

Foot fungus- put it on 1-2 times and its gone

I was admitted to hospital for cellulitus on my arm then started breaking out with a itchy rash. I have been to 4 different Dr's and one Dr gave me medication for fungus under my nails which I didn't have. I honestly hope this creme works because I am ready to go out of my mind with the itch.I'm breaking out from under my armpits to my chest, between my legs,my neck,.It say's not to use on your armpits. It seems to be in area's that are moist. I need advise and hope someone can help me.

Hard to use by yourself. It cleared up my scalp psoriasis , but came back after not using for a week . I have a lot of hair loss ...

*used it for a rash that developed underneath my breast from perspiration and the rubbing of my bra-cleared up itchiness and rash within 2-3 days. *used it on a rash/bites from chigger bites that no other cream prescribed could relieve-instant relief within 1-2 days, also dried up rash

I would get thick red skin that would itch and burn at the same time, primarily around my chest, and legs. My Doctor had me try this, because lotions burned so much that I would have to get in the shower to wash them off. I started to notice when my blood sugar was high or my stress was higher than normal this would start. The Fluocinonide after about day 2 or 3 of using it at least twice a day makes a HUGE difference. If I can manage the other conditions most of time by day 3 or 4 the skin condition is well enough I can take a break and monitor it to see if I need to do it once a day (if that).Read More Read Less

I went to my doctor who prescribed this medication and within 2 days of taking this caused huge bumps which were inflamed with blood and pus! My face also got terrible acne on my chin -I am 56 years old and hate acne bumps. Needless to say this medication stopped the itching under my arm which was severe excema but this caused other issues.

I had a very red, inflamed rash on my hands, between my fingers on both hands and also all over the back of my right hand. I had gone to my family doctor and been prescribed an ointment that wasn't really working. I went to my dermatologist, who told me to use Dove soap when I was washing my hands or taking a bath followed by cerave or cetaphil cream and to use this ointment twice a day for two weeks because it was stronger. I was not expecting this, but I started seeing a difference the very next day. It was still red but not as red and wasn't burning nearly as much. About two days later I didn't have any burning and the redness had gone down a great deal. I showed my mom and she was amazed. By yesterday it looked completely normal and it hadn't even been an entire week. I have a follow up appointment set up for a week and a day because she wanted a follow up appointment and am just amazed at how well it has already worked. I was not expecting results this fast at all. I could not recommend this ointment more. Read More Read Less

My whole life I always leave I just had really bad dandruff that never went away and just last year in 2016 my whole scalp was flaking and itching like crazy even after getting out of the shower large skin patches will flake off just by rubbing my scalp. Original the doctor gave me clobetasol solution and it wasn't strong enough so I used the Medicaded shampoo and she gave me this fluocinonide oil. No joke the first day using it I felt instant relief. It makes your hair super super greasy but it's definitely worth it because the itchiness is gone. For the first time in my life my scalp actually looks healthyRead More Read Less

I cannot live without this solution. I have scalp psoriasis and I would flare up really bad and the only thing that work was fluocinonide topical solution 1%, at first it would burn, but soon afterwards my scalp is feeling better, I leave it on over night, then was my hair and scalp with mild no phosphate shampoo and it stays clear, I have used so many other creams, and yuck, this is a liquid and I use it all over my scalp and won't use anything else.

This medication cleared the redness but had a strange side effect of causing physical depression (not mental), which made for some pretty sad days. I found this surprising and strange, and wanted to report to warn others as this could be more serious in someone with an underlying/existing condition.

Went to Dermatologist and was prescribed this medication. It does leave an oily wet look on skin, but works for me. The itchiness goes away after 1 min after applying. I have random itchiness on my skin could be eczema or bug bites, but regardless, medicine seems to work for me.
