Description of Nerisone Oily Cream and How it Works

Nerisone Oily Cream is a potent topical corticosteroid prescribed for treating, preventing, and controlling the symptoms of eczema, dermatitis, and other inflammatory skin conditions that are dry and mildly moist, including allergic dermatitis. The oily cream formula is ideal for hives and other rashes that need to keep some moisture in the skin to help minimize dryness and itching while allowing the skin to breathe. Topical corticosteroids should not be applied any longer than recommended by your doctor. If your rash or dermatitis does not show any improvement with the use of Nerisone Oily Cream, revisit your doctor.

The active ingredient in Nerisone Oily Cream is called Diflucortolone Valerate. When applied as directed, it is absorbed into your skin cells in order to turn off certain processes. This results in your skin cells producing lipocortins, which are chemicals that will inhibit the production of certain compounds. These compounds include prostaglandins and leukotrienes and are responsible for causing inflammation. The reduction of the inflammatory chemicals will provide relief from the symptoms.

What is Dermatitis?

Dermatitis is basically a catch-all phrase for skin conditions that involve inflammation. It can be caused by a rash, bug bite, allergy, or autoimmune disorders that may flare-up occasionally. Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a red and itchy rash that usually appears behind your knees, inside your elbows, and on the front of your neck. There is no cure for eczema, but treatment with Nerisone Oily Cream can treat the symptoms until it decides to flare-up again. Scratching dermatitis can increase your risk of infection.

Is Nerisone Oily Cream the Right Treatment For You?

Ask your doctor if Nerisone Oily Cream is safe to apply if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or you are breast feeding. Explain other medical conditions or allergies you have to your doctor and list any current Rx drugs you take or use, including OTC medications, herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements, to determine if Nerisone Oily Cream is right for you.

Precautions to Take When Using Nerisone Oily Cream

Your risk of side effects increase if you apply Nerisone Oily Cream longer than your doctor has recommended. Once your skin condition is under control, your doctor may prescribe a lower potency medication that can be applied as maintenance therapy with less risk involved. Keep Nerisone Oily Cream out of children’s reach and never share this or other medications with others. See your doctor right away if you think the treated area has become infected.
