What Is The Shelf Life Of Desonide Cream Used For Flare Ups On Face?
I have a tube of desonide 0.005% cream for occasional flare ups on my face. it was prescribed by my dermatologist and I haven t used it in probably 4 or 5 years. I have a little patch that needs a bit of cream but I can t find an expiration date on the tube. Do you know how long the cream lasts in terms of usage?

Hello,
Generally expiry date will be one to two years. Your tube is quite old and it will be better to avoid it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
