Has anyone else experienced severe side effects from using Kenalog 0.1% Lotion for eczema or psoriasis?
I've been using Kenalog 0.1% Lotion for a few weeks now to treat my eczema, and I've been getting some concerning side effects. I didn't realize how serious some of the side effects can be. I'm worried about the allergic reactions and hormonal issues. Have any of you had similar experiences? Has anyone had to switch medications because of these side effects?

I've been using it for psoriasis and it's helped a lot with the itching and redness. No major side effects so far, just a bit of burning when I first apply it.
I had to stop using Kenalog because I got a fungal infection. My doctor said it was related to the steroid cream.
I wish I knew more about the long-term effects of using this. It's helped my skin so much, but I don't want to use it forever.
I had to switch to a different medication because of the severe headaches and moon face. It was freaky!
Be careful with this stuff. It's a steroid, so it can mess with your hormones if you use it too much. Always consult your doctor before continuing use.
I had a terrible reaction to it. My skin started peeling and I broke out in hives. It was awful. I switched to a different cream and it's so much better now.
I've heard that some people get stretch marks from using steroid creams. Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anyone know if the side effects go away if you stop using the lotion? I'm worried about the long-term effects.
