Elocon Scalp Lotion

Elocon Scalp Lotion is applied directly to the affected area of the scalp, typically once daily. Apply a few drops of the lotion and gently massage it into the skin until absorbed. It can be used on both dry and wet hair, ensuring the treatment reaches the skin beneath. Avoid applying the lotion to sensitive areas, such as open sores, and always follow your doctor’s instructions for use.

Elocon Scalp Lotion is used to treat inflammatory scalp conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis. It contains mometasone, a potent corticosteroid, which helps reduce redness, itching, and flakiness, providing relief and allowing the skin to heal. It is effective even for those with a lot of hair, as it can penetrate through to treat the underlying skin condition.

Common side effects of Elocon Scalp Lotion include skin irritation, dryness, stinging, and burning. In rare cases, it may cause thinning of the skin or loss of skin colour. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact a healthcare professional. Use exactly as prescribed to minimise any potential side effects.

Elocon Scalp Lotion is effective for treating psoriasis and dermatitis, but it may not be suitable for everyone. It is not recommended for children under the age of 2 and should only be used on the scalp. Always consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you have sensitive skin or other health conditions.
