P.N.B –
Used this product when my atopic dermatitis was not adequately controlled with triamcinolone cream, 0.1%. It worked great and I used it anywhere from 4 days to two weeks. If the itching was severe, adding diphenhydramine (Benadryl) orally was an excellent remedy.
Thankfull Customer –
When on holiday in hot sunny climates I always suffer from severe heat rash. After using Flucort cream it clears after a day or so it is brilliant.

Exceptionally good product to relieve mild dermatitis symptoms.

I was suffering from a rash for 10 months and this was the only thing that brought me relief. The relief was such that I overused it and unfortunately it thinned my skin considerably. I ended up finding out what was causing my rash was my blood pressure medication, so I am cured now and no longer need Fluocinolone. Would I use it again? Yes. Would I be more careful? You bet it. way….way more careful.

The cream worked wonders for the seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp. I saw improvements in a week, with less flakiness and less itching. However, the instruction to avoid using in the facial area was a bit of a bummer.

Using this cream for intertrigo was a true relief. It calmed the rash without any major side effects. Consistent use as directed helped maintain healthy skin folds. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying.

I used it for an allergic reaction rash, and it significantly reduced the swelling and itchiness within a short time. However, I did experience mild skin drying as a side effect, so moisturizing afterward is a good idea. Don’t skip reading the leaflet that comes with it.

The application process is straightforward and the relief was almost immediate. I experienced some dryness, but it was manageable and much better than constantly itching. I would definitely purchase this again if recommended by my dermatologist.
Mei Ling Chen –
I was hesitant but gave this a try for my itchy bumps (prurigo) and saw great results. While applying it multiple times a day was a bit inconvenient, it was worth it for such effective relief. Chat with a dermatologist first to make sure it’s right for you.

This product is great for dealing with lichen planus. The itching and swelling decreased considerably. I’m thankful I consulted my dermatologist about using it. Follow the instructions for the best experience.

I applied the cream on areas prone to psoriasis, and it made a noticeable difference in texture and color. The cream absorbs well and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. It’s crucial to follow the dermatologist’s guidance for safe use.
Alejandro Ruiz –
Though relieved my eczema symptoms significantly, I did experience some mild burning initially. It subsided after a few applications, and the benefits far outweighed this temporary discomfort. A necessary addition to the treatment plan for any persistent skin issues.
Priya Nair –
A reliable solution for my dermatitis. The itching subsided quickly, and it even helped with the redness I was experiencing. Just make sure to avoid the sensitive areas on your body unless directed otherwise.

This cream has been a lifesaver for my eczema flare-ups. I noticed a significant reduction in redness and itching within days. It’s now a staple in my skin care routine. Highly recommend consulting your dermatologist about this.
