I've been using Westcort 0.2% Ointment for a few weeks now to manage my psoriasis, and I've noticed a significant reduction in redness and itching. However, I've also experienced some burning and stinging sensations when I apply it. Has anyone else had similar side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? Also, did you notice any other side effects not mentioned in the product information? I'd love to hear other people's experiences and any tips for minimizing these side effects.

I've been using Hydrocortisone 2.5% Lotion for my eczema for a few weeks now, and I've had mixed results. I've noticed that my skin is less itchy, but the affected area has also been drying out. I've also found that the lotion makes my skin more sensitive to the sun. I've read the side effects but I wanted to ask if anyone has experienced severe skin changes or throat tightness? Has anyone else had these experiences, or am I just being paranoid? Also, any tips on how to use it without drying out my skin? Do I have to use moisturizer in conjunction or should I be applying it sparingly? Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated!

I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have. Thanks!
