I've been struggling with psoriasis for a while now, and my doctor prescribed Elocon 0.1% Lotion. I've read about the potential side effects, and I'm a bit nervous. Has anyone else used this? How effective was it, and did you experience any side effects? I'm especially worried about the skin thinning and changes in eyesight.

I found Elocon to be really helpful for my psoriasis too, but I did notice some skin irritation at the site of application. My doctor said it's a common side effect and it went away after a few days. Just keep an eye on it. Don't expect miracles, but it can help manage those flares.

I didn't know about the Cushing's syndrome symptoms. That's pretty serious stuff. Well worth it to get rid of eczema though. If you notice any of those signs, definitely head to the doctor.

I used Elocon for my eczema and it worked wonders. I didn't experience any side effects, but I made sure to use it exactly as prescribed.

I never had any side effects, but it's important to apply it thinly and avoid using it under bandages. That can make the absorption increase and the side effects more likely.

I've had great results with this. I was a skeptic but my doctor recommended it because of the strength. I only needed to use it for a short time. Good luck!
