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.
