Suffering from mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema)?
Understanding your itchy, dry skin just got a little easier.

Desonate is contraindicated in those with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation. Topical corticosteroids can produce reversible hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome and unmask latent diabetes. Systemic absorption may require evaluation for HPA axis suppression. Modify use should HPA axis suppression develop. Potent corticosteroids, use on large areas, prolonged use or occlusive use may increase systemic absorption.

Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity when treated with topical corticosteroids due to their larger skin surface-to-body mass ratios. Unless directed by a physician, do not use on the underarm or groin area of children. Do not use to treat diaper dermatitis. Use in children less than 3 months of age is not recommended.
