It is more effective than hydrocortisone lotion 2.5% and as safe as hydrocortisone 1.0%.
DesOwen® Lotion is non-irritating and well tolerated, even in sensitive skin areas. DesOwen® products come in lotion, cream and ointment form and are available by prescription only.
Eczema is a term to describe specific skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, hand dermatitis and asteatotic eczema.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a noncontagious skin disorder that may appear as red, inflamed skin covered by greasy or dry scales that are often white, yellowish or gray.
In controlled clinical trials, the total incidence of adverse reactions associated with the use of desonide was approximately 8%. These were stinging and burning approximately 3%; irritation, contact dermatitis, condition worsened, peeling of the skin, itching, intense transient erythema, and dryness/scaliness, each less than 2%.
