Lutiderm Cream is a steroid medicine. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy due to skin conditions such as atopic eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, and psoriasis.

You have been prescribed Lutiderm Cream for treating itchy red rashes and skin irritation associated with skin conditions such as atopic eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, and psoriasis among others. Don't use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Don't apply it to broken or infected areas of skin, face, eyes, or eyelids. Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor as this may increase the risk of side effects. If you think the area of skin you are treating has become infected, you should stop using Lutiderm Cream and consult your doctor.
