FAQ

  • What is Elocon scalp lotion?

    When you suffer with skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis on the scalp, they can be tricky to treat. Elocon scalp lotion is specially formulated to treat psoriasis and other skin conditions on the scalp, even when you have lots of hair.

    This anti-inflammatory corticosteroid is both vasoconstrictive and antipruritic. It works to both moisturise the skin and slow the rate of new skin cells.

    Simply apply a few drops to the affected area every day for 7-10 days.

  • Can Elocon scalp lotion be used on the face?

    No, you should never apply Elocon scalp lotion anywhere but the scalp. You should also not apply elocon lotion to broken skin.

  • Can Elocon scalp lotion be used on babies?

    No. Elocon scalp lotion is not recommended for use on children under two years old and cannot be provided online for patients under 18 years of age.

    It takes just a few drops to make Elocon scalp lotion work if you buy the lotion for children.

    You should also only use it for a maximum of five days when using it on someone under 18, as when you apply Elocon scalp lotion to your child's scalp often, it can impact growth development.

  • Is Elocon scalp lotion safe during pregnancy?

    If you are pregnant and interested in using Elocon scalp lotion, speak to a team member to find out if it is a viable option for you.

  • Is Elocon scalp lotion a steroid?

    Yes, Elocon scalp lotion is a potent steroid. It belongs in the family of medicines called topical corticosteroids. It is classed as a very potent corticosteroid treatment. However, the medication is ideal for combatting scalp conditions, and as long as you use it correctly, you'll probably find that it does your scalp a world of good.

  • How does Elocon scalp lotion cause excessive hair growth?

    Elocon scalp lotion affects hair growth by making it grow quickly. However, this is very rare, and few people suffer from Hypertrichosis while using the lotion. You shouldn't use the medication for hair regrowth because it can cause side effects.

  • What should I do if I experience any allergic skin reactions?

    If you notice any skin irritation or have an allergic reaction, you should consult with a doctor immediately.

  • What happens if I use too much Elocon scalp lotion?

    When you buy Elocon scalp lotion, you should always follow the instructions, as frequent usage can cause skin thinning. Use it sparingly and consult with our online pharmacists if you'd like some advice on how often to apply it.

  • Does Elocon lotion lighten skin?

    Yes, Elocon scalp lotion can lighten your skin, but you should never use it for that purpose as it can damage your skin.

  • Who can use Elocon scalp lotion?

    You should never store Elocon scalp lotion near naked flames. The scalp lotion is suitable for adults and children over two, but not everyone should use it. Try to find an alternative (or speak to your doctor) if you have any of the following:

    • Other skin infections or secondary skin infections
    • Other scalp issues (Elocon scalp lotion could make it worse)
