Indications 

Dermasone Cream is prescribed for the management of various corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, allergies, and rashes. 

Classified as a super-high-potency corticosteroid, Dermasone Cream functions by stimulating the skin’s natural substances to alleviate skin inflammation, redness, and itching. 

Uses and Dosage 

Before using Dermasone Cream and with each prescription refill, thoroughly review the product packaging and accompanying patient information leaflet. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for any queries or additional information. 

Dermasone Cream is intended for skin use exclusively. Avoid applying it to the face, groin, or underarms unless instructed by your doctor. 

Typically, this cream is administered twice daily onto the affected skin region. 

For correct cream application: 

1. Begin by washing and drying your hands. 
2. Clean and dry the affected area. 
3. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area and gently massage it in as per your doctor’s instructions.  
4. After application, wash your hands unless you are using the cream to treat your hands. 

When applying Dermasone Cream around the eyes, take care not to let it come into contact with the eyes, as this can exacerbate or trigger glaucoma. Moreover, refrain from applying this cream to the nose or mouth. In case of accidental application in these areas, thoroughly rinse with abundant water. 

Avoid applying this cream on damaged, infected, or open skin wounds. 

Do not use this cream on extensive skin areas or cover the treated area with a bandage or any other covering without your doctor’s approval. When treating the diaper area, do not wear plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers.
