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.

Careful with this stuff. I used it for a while and ended up with some pretty bad skin irritation. It's not worth it when you can find other treatments that are safer.

I don't think it's worth the risk. I've heard horror stories about people experiencing severe side effects. I'd recommend looking into other treatments that are less risky.

I had to stop using it because it was making my skin really thin. Plus, the side effects were TERRIBLE! But if it's working for you, then I'm glad. Just be careful and pay attention to any changes in your skin or body.

I had a friend who used this and ended up with some pretty bad side effects. She had to stop using it completely. I think it's pretty serious if it can mess with your hormones. You need to be very careful with what you put on your skin.

Fluticasone lotion has been amazing for my psoriasis. I had some initial irritation, but it cleared up quickly. Definitely worth it for the relief it provides. Just be vigilant about side effects.

I've been using this for a while and honestly, it's been a lifesaver. I've had some skin irritation and thinning, but nothing too bad. It's much better than the constant itching and redness I used to deal with. But your post has me thinking... I might mention these potential side effects to my doctor.

I've had a good experience with it so far. I used it for a few weeks and it really helped with the itching and redness. Just be sure to apply it as directed and talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

I've been on this for about a month now and haven't had any major issues. I did experience some burning and stinging at first, but it went away after a couple of days. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully and monitor your skin closely.

Honestly, I'd be more concerned about the long-term effects. Corticosteroids can be tough on your body, and I've heard they can mess with your hormones. Just be careful and keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms.
