Clobetasol Prop 0.05% Gel: Powerful but Potentially Dangerous? My experience
I've been using Clobetasol Prop 0.05% Gel for a couple of weeks now to treat my persistent psoriasis flare-up, and while it's done wonders for the redness and itching, I can't help but worry about the potential side effects. The warnings are scary. I've heard some horror stories from friends who've used it, but I've also seen incredible results from others. Has anyone else had any bad experiences or good stories that can help me understand what I might be in for? As someone who's usually afraid of needles but ended up trying the gel, I really feel like this would be a good time to get some experiences from people who have gone through it

I had a really bad reaction to this stuff. I broke out in hives and had trouble breathing. I had to go to the ER and it was really scary. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I don't think it's worth the risk
I've been using Clobetasol for a few years now, on and off. I've only had minor side effects like burning and stinging, nothing too bad. Just make sure you use it as directed and don't overdo it. If you use it properly, the risks aren't too bad.
I have psoriasis on my hands and feet and I've used Clobetasol Prop 0.05% Gel for a year now. I've been using it sparingly and when I start to have a flare up, I use it according to prescription. It's been working well and I haven't experienced any side effects. I've noticed that it has caused some thinning in my skin, but I'm happy with the results. But, I can definitely feel the difference and some of the parts where I apply it are thinner.
I've had psoriasis for a while now, and this stuff has been a lifesaver. I've only had minor side effects, but it's been worth it for me. I just wish it didn't cost so much. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it's been doing great. I've been using it sparingly and when I start to have a flare up, I use it according to prescription.
