I have pretty bad flakiness around my ears and elbows. This cream helps relieve some of the itchiness, flakiness, and pain in that area, but doesn’t make it go away completely. I haven’t tried medication yet, but that coupled with this cream would probably improve my condition significantly. If your looking for some relief, this cream will definitely help! If you’re looking for this cream to make it go away (like I was), you may need more in your arsenal.
