Nerisone Cream Description

Dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition that causes redness, swelling, and pain. There are several types of dermatitis that can be found on various parts of your body, including your hands, feet, scalp, and your arms or legs. Many doctors refer to atopic dermatitis as eczema, which can be dry and flakey but may crack and become oozy.

Seborrheic dermatitis is also known as dandruff when it develops on your scalp, but it can appear on your face, upper chest, or your back where the skin tends to be oily. Your doctor may recommend you use Nerisone Cream for weepy areas of skin affected by dermatitis as this formula allows any secretions to drain away from your skin which is helpful if you have contact dermatitis

Clear up the Symptoms of Dermatitis

Nerisone Cream is a topical corticosteroid medication that can be applied to your skin as a short-term remedy to reduce the symptoms of dermatitis that can cause a weepy rash, such as contact or atopic dermatitis. When applied as directed, the active ingredient, Diflucortolone Valerate, is absorbed into your skin cells and will work by preventing the cells from producing chemicals that cause inflammation, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Nerisone Cream also constricts the blood vessels in your skin to decrease blood flow. These actions will bring down the redness, itching, painful inflammation, and allow any skin cracks to heal.

Conditions Treated by Nerisone Cream

Contact dermatitis is a frequent cause of rashes after coming into contact with soaps, pets, products containing alcohol, poison ivy, and household or industrial chemicals, to name a few. This is usually due to an allergic reaction that your body reacts to as if you are under a threat. Your immune response is to send your own chemicals to the skin area to get rid of the harmful agent and inflammation, swelling, and redness is how your body reacts. Nerisone Cream is best for weepy rashes as it does not form a barrier like an ointment, but allows your skin to breathe and let the secretions escape.

Before Nerisone Cream is Prescribed

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding before applying Nerisone Cream to be certain it is not harmful to your unborn or nursing baby. Your doctor should know about other medical conditions or allergies you have and any OTC or Rx meds you currently take or use, including herbal remedies and vitamin or dietary supplements, so it can be determined if Nerisone Cream is the right treatment for you.

Nerisone Cream Precautions

You only need to apply a thin layer of Nerisone Cream to the affected skin area and for the time period recommended by your doctor. Keep Nerisone Cream and all other drugs out of children’s reach and do not share with anyone else or apply to a child under 1 year old. Only cover or bandage the treated area if instructed to do so by your doctor as this can increase your risk of side effects. This is not a cure for your condition, but a way to calm the flare-up and provide relief from itching and avoid a possible secondary infection from scratching.
