I haven't used this product but want to know if it is safe to use on shingles? I have it on the right side of back and under arm at waist level. The prescription recommended is too expensive I need something affordable

I had a rash on my forehead and neck that was coming and going for about 2 1/2 months. I finally went to see my doctor and she prescribed the 0.025% strength cream to be used twice daily. Within 2 days the rash was completely gone. Worked like a miracle!

I applied this prescription drug to my 3 year old daughterâ??s wrists using my finger. I immediately washed my hands afterwards with soap. About 4 hours later, we both broke out in hives. I appear to be the more sensitive one since she was fine the next day, but it took almost a week for the waves of redness and itchiness to gradually subside for me. The symptoms would return during the early evening. This was the first time I have ever had an allergic reaction.

My horrible itching rash over most of my body occurred during the hottest summer two years ago. Went to my primary care physician and was MISDIAGNOSED with ivy poison. This was confirmed by a consulting physician. The condition worsened and in desperation I went to a dermatologist and was diagnosed with contact dermatitis.Was prescribed Triamcinolone, and after applying it before bedtime the results were almost immediate. Itching eased and by morning the rash was fading. Two days later all symptoms were GONE. Read More Read Less

This medication was unbelievable! Within 2 days, my rash was almost gone. I was floored. I thought I had eczema because I couldn't get rid of it with other medications and it runs in my family. But' now I know it wasn't. I am very happy!

I used this ointment twice a day for two weeks and I got my dermatitis cleared up great. I use it twice a day for a flare up and it is gone. The only drawback I have, is, after I apply it, I have intense itching for twenty minutes. That's the only part I don't like. Can someone give me a suggestion to get rid of the intense itching for twenty minutes, after I apply it? Other than that, it is great.

I've had eczema since I was 12 yrs old and was never able to get rid of it. I tried many creams and even slept covered with things such as diaper ointment, spam and aquaphor. Finally, I was prescribed this cream and began using it as directed. Within 2 days, my eczema was gone! It sometimes flares up but as long as I have my cream, it's resolved within days! So grateful for this cream!

Itchy, discolored, flaky, dry rash started during puberty, and got progressively worse. Started on neck thighs, moved to trunk, buttocks, arms, back, and everywhere except my face. Tens of doctors, tests, possible diagnoses, and ineffective treatments. I've tried it all. It's affected my confidence, my clothes (never shorts or t-shirts outside), vacations, etc. I thought this was just my skin for life. After 25 years, was finally prescribed this medication and within 2 days, noticed a positive change. After 4 days, it had cleared up more than 50%! To me, it is the miracle cream I've looked for all my life. I'm excited about this journey!Read More Read Less

The severe rash I already had became instantly much worse. Turns out the side effects are burning, itching, irritation, redness, dryness - everything that I was taking it to get rid of!!
