I've been using Synalar 0.025% Cream for my eczema for a few weeks now, and while it has helped with the itching and redness, I've started to notice some worrying side effects. I'm seeing some signs of high blood sugar, like increased thirst and frequent urination. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I'm worried about these side effects and wondering if I should talk to my doctor about switching medications.

Be careful, high blood sugar is nothing to joke about. Please go see your doctor asap.

I've been using Synalar for years and never had any issues. Maybe it's just a bad batch? Or maybe your body is reacting differently because of other factors. Definitely talk to your doctor and see what they say.

I've had a similar experience with Synalar. It worked great for my psoriasis, but I started getting severe dizziness which lasted for several days. My doctor switched me to a different steroid cream and the symptoms disappeared.

I had a bad reaction to Synalar too, but it was more along the lines of a severe rash. It was so bad I had to go to the ER. Definitely talk to your doctor about it. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Synalar worked for me, but I made sure to follow the instructions to the letter. Even if it's helping, if you're experiencing side effects, it's best to talk to your doctor.

Side effects are so hit or miss with these creams. I've had good luck with hydrocortisone in the past. Maybe that's something to try if Synalar doesn't work out?

If you're experiencing high blood sugar symptoms, you need to get to the doctor ASAP. I had a friend who didn't take side effects seriously and ended up in the hospital. Don't ignore these signs. In case of severe side effects, don't hesitate to seek emergency medical attention.

I skipped the doctor and tried a different cream from the drugstore. It didn't work as well, but at least I didn't have side effects. Not sure if that's the best idea though.
