I've been prescribed Kenalog 0.1% Cream for my eczema. The doctor says it's a corticosteroid that should help with the swelling, redness, and itching. Has anyone else used this cream for eczema or psoriasis? I'm curious to hear about your experiences, especially any side effects you've noticed. The list of potential side effects is a bit worrying, so I'm hoping to get some real-life insights. Thanks in advance!

I've been prescribed Lidex 0.05% Cream for my eczema, and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. I've read about the urgent side effects, like allergic reactions and signs of high blood sugar, which are really concerning. Has anyone else used this cream? What were your experiences like? Did you encounter any of the side effects mentioned, such as skin irritation or thinning of the skin? I'd love to hear from anyone who has used this before, or maybe even some tips on how to manage the side effects if they do occur. Thanks in advance!
