What is Desonide and why is it prescribed?
Desonide is a steroid preparation that relieves the itching and inflammation of a variety of skin problems. It is applied directly to the skin. When you use Desonide, you inevitably absorb some of the medication through your skin and into the bloodstream. Too much absorption can lead to unwanted side effects elsewhere in the body. To keep this problem to a minimum, avoid using large amounts of Desonide over large areas, and do not cover it with airtight dressings such as plastic wrap or adhesive bandages unless specifically told to by your doctor. How should you take Desonide? Follow your doctors directions for taking Desonide. Shake lotion well before using. Desonide is for use only on the skin. Be careful to keep it out of your eyes. Remember to avoid wrapping the treated area with bandages or other coverings unless your doctor has told you to do so. If you miss a dose apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to you
