I've been prescribed Fluocinolone Acet 0.01% to manage my eczema flare-ups. I've heard it can be really effective, but I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. Has anyone here used it for eczema or psoriasis? What was your experience? Any tips on how to apply it for the best results? I've read the side effects, but I'm particularly worried about the risk of Cushing's syndrome or adrenal gland issues with prolonged use, and how likely are those?

I've been using Texacort 2.5% Solution for a few months now, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my eczema. The redness, itching, and swelling have significantly reduced, and the solution is easy to apply. However, I'm a bit concerned about the possible side effects. Has anyone else experienced any issues, or am I just being paranoid? Let's share our experiences and tips!
