Desowen Cream 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

My daughter developed a skin allergy after having makeup applied at school. What medicines or creams do you recommend?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

She may be having an allergic reaction, so wash the affected area immediately with mild soap and water to remove any remaining makeup. You may try a simple cold compress or an over-the-counter antihistamine to help reduce the rash. Please consult a doctor promptly if her rash worsens, lasts more than a day or two, or causes swelling.

I have a white patch on my forehead. What could it be?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

A white patch on the forehead could be caused by several conditions, such as vitiligo (a condition where the skin loses its natural colour), tinea versicolor (a fungal skin infection), or a post-inflammatory change in skin colour after a rash or injury. It is important to see your doctor or a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Is the darkening around my lips and eyes normal?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

A little darkening around the lips and eyes is often normal and can be due to genetics, sun exposure, inflammation, or mild pigmentation. If it appears suddenly, gets worse, or is accompanied by other unusual symptoms, please consult a doctor to rule out underlying medical conditions.

My 2-year-old son has cracked skin on his cheeks despite using lotion and coconut oil. What can help him recover?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser or emollient like plain petroleum jelly to his cheeks several times a day. Keep his skin protected from cold or dry air, and avoid harsh soaps or lotions with fragrances or alcohol, as these may worsen dryness. If the cracks do not improve or become red or oozing, consult a doctor for further advice.

My upper eyelid is itching, and I think it is due to rashes. What medication can help?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

If your upper eyelid is itchy and has a rash, you should see a doctor immediately because the skin around the eyes is very delicate. A doctor will determine the cause, which could be an allergy, irritation, or infection, and suggest the appropriate treatment. They may prescribe a mild steroid cream or an antihistamine eye drop that is safe for use near the eyes. In the meantime, try not to rub or scratch your eyelid, as this may worsen the irritation.
