Elocon 0.1%

[Montysmum1]

Just been prescribed Elocon for my skin as biopsy came back positive for Lupus Profundus. Has anyone had any good results on this cream ??

This is what I use on the soles of my feet or fingers. It works, but you have to use it thinly and for a good 2+ weeks twice a day if possible for any sores or rashes to go. If you need to use it regularly, then that's a good thing, only because the shelf life isn't very long.

I only use it as and when, so sometimes it's out of date, before I need it again.

All the best😊

Hi , my son has Lupus profundus as well , this cream was not suggested, he was started on plaquenil and methotrexate. This would appear to have halted the progression, he has lost alot of tissue in shoulder and chest . I hope it helps you , i will keep a note of your post for future reference. Best wishes 🌸

It's good to hear what other people get prescribed so if I have no luck with this cream I have some knowledge of other treatment when I see the dermatologist again.

Thank you

How bizarre I was prescribed the same ointment for possible eczema on my hand (it doesn’t look at all like eczema to me) last week. I used steroid creams for much of my life on and off and consequently have rather thin skin, I did use it as instructed once a day for 5 days but, like my dermatologist as I do, I’m really not sure this is the right treatment for the glue like itchy patches on the backs of my hands. I’ll follow and see what others say about this cream.

Hi, I first time used this cream when I had a massive flare up in winter in 2018. My arms and my lower back were covered with nasty big red patches, and they were extremely itchy. I used it twice a week and for two weeks, all the flare up on my skin was cleared. Prior to using this cream, I also used Hydrocortisone and Eumovate and they never worked. So ever since whenever I have flare up or I can't bear the itch on my arms or my back, I use it and it helps me every time. Best wishes
