I'm surprised that your Dr gave you Elocon. It is great, but my Dr would only give it to me for occasional use. It's a corticosteroid, and long term use on a large area of skin can cause skin problems and hormone problems. It has a warning that says not to use it on the face, which is where I use it - but only occasionally.
It works miracles on my swollen, red, sore eyelids when allergy season is at it's height, though, and I only use it for a day or two every few weeks in the spring.
