Desosoft Lotion 30 ml

Desosoft Lotion is used to treat skin problems such as redness, itching and swelling. It is generally prescribed for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. It contains Desonide, which works by blocking the production of certain chemical substances in the body which cause allergy and inflammation (swelling and redness). Thereby, it helps to treat redness, itching, irritation, and inflammation. In some cases, it may cause common side effects such as skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, irritation, stinging sensation, itching and redness at the site of application.

Health Queries

Can desonide lotion be safely used for skin problems affecting the fingers?

G.santoshini Reddy

Desonide lotion can be used for certain skin problems on the fingers, such as mild eczema, dermatitis, or allergic rashes, but it should only be used if prescribed by a doctor, as it is a steroid medicine. It helps reduce redness, itching, and inflammation, but using it without a proper diagnosis can actually worsen the condition. Apply a thin layer for a short duration as advised, avoid using it on broken skin unless told, and do not use it for long periods to prevent side effects like skin thinning. If the problem does not improve within a few days or spreads, it is important to consult a doctor for the correct diagnosis and treatment.
