Description
Desonide Cream 0.05% X 60G is a low-potency topical corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, including conditions characterized by inflammation, redness, and itching. It functions by suppressing inflammatory responses and immune activity in the skin.
The cream should be applied in a thin layer to the affected areas two to three times daily, as directed by a healthcare provider. Proper application involves gentle rubbing until the medication is fully absorbed. It is intended for short-term use, and treatment duration should be minimized to reduce the risk of adverse effects.
Prolonged use may lead to local skin atrophy, including thinning of the skin, striae, and telangiectasia. Use with other topical or systemic corticosteroids should be approached with caution due to the potential for cumulative systemic absorption. Pediatric patients are particularly at risk for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression and should be monitored closely during treatment.
