I've been using Elocon Cream for a few weeks now to treat my eczema and psoriasis. It's been amazing for reducing the inflammation and itching, but I've had some concerning side effects. I've noticed some skin thinning and irritation at the application site. I also felt extremely tired for a few days, which I'm not sure is related. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? How long did it take for the side effects to go away? I'm not sure if I should see my doctor again or give it more time. Thoughts?

I've been struggling with eczema for years, and my doctor recently prescribed Elocon Ointment. I've heard it can be really effective, but I'm also a bit worried about the side effects. Has anyone used this before? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad. Did it help with the redness and itching? How long did it take to see results? And were there any side effects you wish you'd known about before starting?

I've been using Elocon Ointment 45gm for a week now to manage my eczema, and while it's helped with the itching and redness, I've been worried about the potential side effects. The package insert lists some pretty serious warnings, like signs of a weak adrenal gland and Cushing's syndrome. Has anyone else had issues with this medication? Should I be more concerned about these side effects or is it just paranoia? I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something serious. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
