My sister was given Fluocinonide by her doctor for an itchy scalp and her hair was falling out. She used this medication for about three months and like some miracle, her hair grew in extremely thick and looks like a perm! Her hair has always been naturally straight. She's ok with having curly hair now, but more ecstatic about having so much thick hair. I am going to try using this medication sinc...
After an extended period of time using this topical fluocinonide I experienced hair loss in the area being treated.

I am highly allergic to bug bites. This is the only medication (topical cream) that works.

This medication has worked wonders for me. Have noticed no side effects from its use. I had been perscribed other medicines for more than a year with no help. Another Dr. perscribed Fluocinonide and it continues to work well for me.h

I have had Discoid Lupus Erythematosus and had this disease for about 10 years now. I started on plagenil for about a month and then Triamcinolone cream 0.1% for a bit then I had the lesions stuck with steriod shots,had a few lesions removed.since getting out of the navy, the Vetrans Affairs had me on Hydroxychloroquine (with no side effects) medication and these creams like Triamcinolone cream 0.1%. Ive used the Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% and now I'm on the Triamcinolone cream 0.025% for the most part they clear up but not a 100% I also use coppertone 70 spf when im at workRead More Read Less

I was prescribed this medicine in liquid form to use on my scalp to relieve the severe itching of dermatitis, to be used in conjunction with Nizoral shampoo. This medicine is effective, though not 100% -- I would have to repeat applications to receive the full effect. Still, when I have a bad flare-up, this fluid applied to the itchy areas of the scalp can provide great relief until the Nizoral shampoo kicks in and takes care of the problem.
