Side Effects

Burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, skin atrophy, striae and miliaria. Adverse reactions are infrequent with topical Desoximetasone, but may occur frequently with the use of occlusive dressings.

Precautions
This medication is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. The treated skin area should not be bandaged or covered or wrapped unless directed by the physician. The patient should report any sign of local adverse reactions especially under occlusive dressing to the physician.

Use in Pregnancy & Lactation
There is no adequate and well-controlled study of desoximetasone in pregnant women. It should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits justifies the potential risks to the fetus. It is not known whether topical administered desoximetasone could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when topical corticosteroids are administered to a nursing woman.
