My husband has been prescribed Efudex for 10 days (morning and evening on his scalp). Also, Dovonex twice daily and pop-Desonide twice daily (as needed). Which cream does he put on first, second...? Thank you.

And is it called something else here that I should ask for? I've used it in the past for symptoms that have just come back. But being far from my Dr at home, I don't know if I need to see one here, or can just walk into a pharmacy. What is Desonide called, and what are the rules here in Greece?

My new dermatologist has prescribed a one-week per month treatment over four months, applying Silkis 3 in the morning and Efudex 5% at bedtime. I have used Efudex before in one spot, with the expected itching and scabs. What happens when I apply these creams all over my face and scalp, which don't have many particular keratosis spots? My job involves working with the public. ## My dermatologist prescribed Efudex and Desonide last week! Beginning tonight... 7 days Efudex and Desonide am and Desonide pm, followed by Desonide twice a day for 3 days, then stop for 3 weeks. Repeat 4 times after that ! ## How did this protocol work for you? Do you react quickly. How soon did the redness go away? I’m using a Efudex and a synthetic D3 derivative gel called Calcipotriol. I mix them 50-...

medicine, desonide cream 0.05%

Does anyone know if you can apply cosmetics over Desonide?
