Is Desonide good for dry skin?

Answer by  Joe1010us (239)

Many people have tried Desonide and had amazing results. It would be best to ask a dermatologist before, since not all skin conditions are treated the same. If normal hydrating creams dont work, go for it.

Desonide is a topical corticosteroid. It will definitely help with dry patches of skin however it is recommended to use sparingly and in small amounts because of the side effects that can be involved with this type of lotion. Use it only with supervision of a doctor and if you are allergic to steroids then don't use it all.

Many patients are very pleased with Desonide and have found that it does indeed cure their dry skin.

It is a corticosteroid that is primarily used to reduce inflammation and swelling, not necessarily for moisturizing dry skin. Also, the medicine can be absorbed into the skin which can cause side effects. Unless you have a skin condition like psoriasis, you should probably use another type dry skin lotion.
