Desonide is available in a lower-cost generic form.
It is a low-strength topical corticosteroid and carries a lower risk of side effects.
Desonide comes in many forms, such as a cream, ointment, lotion, gel, and foam.
The gel and foam can be used in children as young as 3 months old to treat atopic dermatitis (eczema).
Tridesilon is only available with a doctor’s prescription.
It is not the strongest topical corticosteroid and may not be effective for severe skin conditions.
Using too much of the medicine, using it for long periods of time, or using it on large areas of the body can lead to serious side effects such as skin thinning, irritation, and skin color changes.
Tridesilon contains a steroid medicine that can limit the body’s ability to fight infections.
