Do not use Elocon Cream for more than five consecutive days unless advised by your doctor.

Continue using moisturising emollients alongside Elocon to maintain skin hydration and prevent flare-ups.

Prolonged use can lead to skin thinning, stretch marks, and changes in skin pigmentation. Use for the shortest duration necessary.

If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Elocon.

Do not use if allergic to any of the ingredients or if you have viral, bacterial, or fungal skin infections.

Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience worsening symptoms or severe side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Elocon Cream used for?

Elocon Cream is a topical corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It helps reduce symptoms like redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort​.

How should I apply Elocon Cream?

Apply a thin layer of Elocon Cream to the affected area once a day. Rub it in gently until it is fully absorbed. Avoid using it on the face, underarms, or groin unless directed by a doctor. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage unless instructed by your healthcare provider​.

Are there any side effects associated with Elocon Cream?

Common side effects include burning, itching, and irritation at the application site. Serious side effects can include skin thinning, stretch marks, acne, and changes in skin color. If you experience any severe reactions or signs of an allergic reaction, contact your doctor immediately.

Are there any precautions to take while using Elocon Cream?

Avoid using Elocon Cream on broken or infected skin. Do not use it for longer than prescribed, as prolonged use can lead to hormonal imbalances and other systemic effects. Wash your hands after applying the cream to avoid spreading it to other areas.

What should I avoid while using Elocon Cream?

Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not use other corticosteroid-containing products without consulting your doctor. Additionally, avoid using it on the face, underarms, or groin unless prescribed by your doctor.

Can Elocon Cream be used on the face?

Elocon Cream can be used on the face but should be done cautiously and for short periods only, as long-term use can lead to skin thinning. Avoid applying it near the eyes and consult your doctor before use on facial skin.

Can Elocon Cream be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Consult your doctor before using Elocon Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety of Elocon during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established, so it should only be used if clearly needed and prescribed by a healthcare provider​.
