How to use Desowen
Desowen (Desonide) is available as a lotion meant for external application only. Your physician will take you through on how to use this medicine for the best results. In the case of any concern, you can always contact them for clarifications. Remember to wash your hand properly as well as the areas of skin that you intend to treat before you apply the lotion. Always leave both parts to dry naturally and shake the lotion gently to mix the contents. Take a small amount of the cream from the tube and massage it on the affected area to form a thin cream layer. Immediately, wash your hands and return the medicine in a safe location. This helps prevent further spread of the medicine to unaffected areas which may lead to undesired results.

They will consider your current medical condition, other medicines you are using (supplements, non-prescription, herbal and prescription), medical history and how severe your health condition is. Do not increase or lower your dosage if your doctor has not approved regardless of whether the symptoms are improving or not. Do not stop using the medicine altogether unless your doctor has given you the green light to do so after consultations.
