Learn about Psorcon® E, a topical corticosteroid effective
in treating the itching and swelling associated with dermatitis, insect bites, and
plant rashes.

Mild rashes may be treated with non-prescription medicines, but hydrocortisone creams
and over the counter lotions may be ineffective. Your doctor may recommend a prescription
anithistamine or corticosteroid.
Topical corticosteroids may be used to treat the itching and swelling associated
with plant rashes. Ask your doctor if topical corticosteroids may be right for you.

information for Psorcon® E.
Psorcon® E is a topical corticosteroid that is generally well tolerated. The
most common side effects of topical corticosteroids are burning, itching, irritation,
dryness, and inflamed hair follicles. Topical corticosteroids may cause reversible
HPA axis suppression, increases in sugar in your blood and urine, or Cushing's syndrome.
Bandages or diapers should not be used to cover areas being treated unless directed
by your doctor. Safety and effectiveness in children have not been tested.
