Desonide topical is used to help relieve redness, itching, swelling, or other discomfort caused by skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis). desonide is a corticosteroid (cortisone-like medicine or steroid).
desonide is available only with your doctor's prescription.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For desonide, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to desonide or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of desonide topical foam or gel in children 3 months of age and older. However, because of desonide's toxicity, it should be used with caution. Children may absorb large amounts through the skin, which can cause serious side effects. If your child is using desonide, follow your doctor's instructions very carefully. For the foam and gel forms, safety and efficacy have not been established in infants younger than 3 months of age. The safety and efficacy of desonide topical cream, lotion, and ointment have not been established in children and use is not recommended.
No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of desonide topical cream, ointment, or lotion in geriatric patients.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of desonide topical foam or gel in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require caution in patients receiving desonide topical foam or gel.

Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of desonide. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
It is very important that you use desonide only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may cause unwanted side effects or skin irritation.
desonide is for use on the skin only. Do not get it in your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina. Do not use it on skin areas that have cuts, scrapes, or burns. If it does get on these areas, rinse it off right away with water.
desonide should only be used for skin conditions that your doctor is treating. Check with your doctor before using it for other conditions, especially if you think that a skin infection may be present. desonide should not be used to treat certain kinds of skin infections or conditions, such as severe burns.
Do not use the topical gel on the groin or underarms unless directed to do so by your doctor, and do not use this form for more than 4 weeks.
To use cream, gel, lotion, or ointment:
To use the foam:
The dose of desonide will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of desonide. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of desonide, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Store the foam can at room temperature, away from heat and direct light. Do not keep desonide inside a car where it could be exposed to extreme heat. Do not poke holes in the canister or throw it into a fire, even if the canister is empty.
It is very important that your doctor check the progress of you or your child at regular visits for any unwanted effects that may be caused by desonide.
If your or your child's symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
Using too much of desonide or using it for a long time may increase your risk of having adrenal gland problems. The risk is greater for children and patients who use large amounts for a long time. Talk to your doctor right away if you or your child have more than one of these symptoms while you are using desonide: blurred vision; dizziness or fainting; a fast, irregular, or pounding heartbeat; increased thirst or urination; irritability; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Stop using desonide and check with your doctor right away if you or your child have a skin rash, burning, stinging, swelling, or irritation on the skin.
Make sure your doctor knows that you are using desonide foam. You may need to stop using desonide several days before having surgery.
Do not use cosmetics or other skin care products on the treated areas.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects.
