Lidex (Flucinonide) Cream

Lidex Cream is a high potency glucocorticoid steroid medicine that can help relieve the inflammation, itching, redness, and discomfort of eczema, psoriasis, and other skin dermatoses, including allergic reactions. Calming the itch is important so you avoid scratching and breaking the skin where bacteria can enter and cause an infection.
Applying Lidex Cream or generic Fluocinonide topically to the affected area of your skin also helps hydrate the dry scales of eczema or psoriasis and will not feel heavy or greasy as it is absorbed easily. There is no cure for eczema or psoriasis, only treatments. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
