I've been using Fluocinolone Acet 0.01% Scalp Oil for a few months now to treat my psoriasis, and it's been a game-changer. The itching and flaking have significantly reduced, but I've also experienced some dry skin and occasional burning sensations. I've heard that these are common side effects, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience or if there are any tips to mitigate these issues. I've also read about more serious side effects like Cushing's syndrome, and I'm curious if anyone has encountered these or knows more about the risks. Overall, the benefits seem to outweigh the side effects, but I'd love to hear other people's experiences and thoughts. How has it worked for you?

This stuff saved my life. I was miserable with psoriasis and this has cleared it right up. A little burning is worth it.

I've been using this for a while and haven't had any major issues. Just a little dryness, but a good moisturizer helps.

I had a really bad reaction to this stuff. I broke out in hives and had trouble breathing. Had to go to the ER. Don't think I'll be using that again anytime soon.

I was worried about the side effects, but I've had very few issues. Just a bit of dryness and some minor burning. Definitely worth it to get rid of the psoriasis.

I switched to this from a different steroid and it's been night and day. No more itching, but I do get the occasional burning sensation. Definitely worth it for me though.

I've had some pretty severe reactions to steroids in the past, so I was really nervous to try this. But so far, so good. Just a little dryness, which I can handle. Has anyone had any long-term effects from using this?

I started using this and got really worried about the side effects, but I haven't had any issues so far. Just a bit of dryness, but it's manageable.

I've had this for a while but I just started using it a few weeks ago. The itching has stopped completely, but I've noticed some dryness and burning. I'm hoping it gets better with time.
