Dosage: 0.05 g Daily
Advice & Tips: I think it is to greasy and I just don't like the way it doesn't absorb into my skin but stays wet. Also I have been on this exact same ointment for 3 years and think you should change treatments every 6 months so you don't become used to one or another.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Advice & Tips: I used this cream for the widespread folliculitis on my face and it was coincidental with a massive eruption of impetigo due to undiagnosed eczema herpeticum. I stopped using it immediately and a day later was given antibiotics, and 48 hours later was given anti-virals due to the severity of the symptoms. I can't comment on the cause vs. effect of using this cream but would not use steroid cream again now I know I have HSV.
Cost: $50-99 monthly
