Description

What is Elocon Scalp Lotion?

Elocon Scalp Lotion is a prescription-strength corticosteroid treatment used to relieve inflammation and itching associated with scalp conditions such as psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and eczema. It contains mometasone furoate, a potent synthetic corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching.

This lightweight, alcohol-based lotion is specifically formulated for application to the scalp. It spreads easily, dries quickly, and does not leave the hair feeling greasy, making it suitable for daily use during flare-ups.

Elocon is commonly prescribed for short-term use to bring rapid relief from flare-ups, and is often part of a broader treatment plan for chronic skin conditions. It helps reduce scaling, irritation, and swelling on the scalp, providing improved comfort and appearance.

Available in a bottle with a dropper-style applicator, Elocon Scalp Lotion is typically applied once daily and should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional.

How should I use Elocon Scalp Lotion?

  • Apply a few drops to the affected areas of the scalp once daily.
  • Gently massage into the skin using fingertips.
  • Use sparingly—do not apply to large areas unless directed by a doctor.
  • Avoid contact with eyes, face, and broken skin.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after application.

What are the possible side effects?

  • Common: mild burning or stinging at application site.
  • Less common: skin dryness, tingling, or irritation.
  • Rare but serious: skin thinning, stretch marks, excessive hair growth, or hormonal effects (if overused).

Speak to your doctor if irritation worsens or persists. Do not use for longer than prescribed.

What ingredients are in Elocon Scalp Lotion?

How should Elocon Scalp Lotion be stored?

  • Keep out of sight and reach of children.
