Desoximetasone Cream Use Indication:
Be very
careful not to get Desoximetasone Cream medicine in your eyes. Wash your hands after
using your finger to apply the medicine. If you accidentally get
Desoximetasone Cream
medicine in your eyes, flush them with water.
Do not bandage or otherwise
wrap the skin being treated unless directed to do so by your
doctor.
If your doctor has ordered an
occlusive dressing (airtight covering, such as kitchen plastic wrap or a
special patch) to be applied over Desoximetasone Cream medicine, make sure you know how
to apply it. Since occlusive dressings increase the amount of medicine
absorbed through your skin and the possibility of side effects, use them
only as directed. If you have any questions about this, check with your
doctor.

For patients using

often or for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may

thinner skin (for example, face, armpits, groin), may result in thinning
of the skin and stretch marks or other unwanted effects.
