Description

Desoximetasone is a topical steroid used to treat inflammatory and allergic skin conditions like eczema and atopic dermatitis. It provides relief from swelling, redness, and itching in the affected area by preventing the release of substances that cause inflammation. Desoximetasone is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with plenty of water in case of accidental contact. Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor. Using of the medicine may cause burning sensation, irritation, redness, and swelling at the site of application and dryness. These are temporary and usually go away with time. However, if they persist or worsen, let your doctor know. The medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine. Desoximetasone is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
