I've never experienced anything severe, but I'm curious if anyone else has had any issues. My doctor mentioned that the risk is rare, but it's always good to be cautious.

I have just started using Fluticasone 0.05% Lotion 60ml for eczema. I've had it for a few days and it seems to be helping with the itching and redness, but I've been feeling a bit strange lately and I’m not sure if it’s related to the medication. Has anyone else experienced any severe side effects? I've been reading about the potential for high blood sugar and weak adrenal glands, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm just not sure if it's worth the risk for the relief it provides. I've been using it as prescribed by my doctor, but I can't stop thinking about what could go wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience? I want to make sure I'm not overreacting, but I also want to be informed. If anyone else has had a similar experience I would love to know what I could expect.

I've been using Fluocinolone Acet 0.025% Oint 15gm for a while now to manage my eczema flare-ups. It's been effective, but I've been reading about some pretty serious side effects and it's got me worried. Has anyone else experienced any of the more severe side effects like high blood sugar, adrenal gland issues, or Cushing's syndrome? I want to know if I should be looking out for any specific symptoms or if I should consider switching to a different treatment. I've had some burning and stinging, but nothing too bad so far. Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
