Has anyone had severe side effects from Triamcinolone 0.1% Cream? I'm worried about the signs of Cushing's syndrome
I've been prescribed Triamcinolone 0.1% Cream 15gm for my eczema, and while it's helped with the itching and redness, I'm really worried about the potential side effects. The list is quite long, and some of the symptoms are quite scary. Has anyone else experienced anything serious? I'm particularly concerned about the signs of Cushing's syndrome like weight gain in the upper back or abdomen and a moon face. It seems really rare, but I've been stressed out reading the pamphlet. Should I be worried? Has anyone had long-term use of this cream? How was your experience?

I've been using Triamcinolone for a while now, and I haven't experienced any serious side effects. Just a bit of dry skin sometimes. But I do keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms. Always good to be cautious!
I used this cream for a few months and didn't notice any major issues. But I did get a bit of thinning on my skin where I applied it. I stopped using it and my skin went back to normal. It's probably okay for short-term use but maybe not long-term. Just keep an eye on it.
I've had no problems at all, but I do use it sparingly. I don't think it's meant for long-term use. Just be careful, okay? You don't want to mess around with your hormones.
I've used it a few times for flare-ups and never had an issue. Maybe it's different for everyone? Just be cautious and keep your doctor in the loop.
Be careful with steroids. They can mess with your hormones. Just make sure to watch for any weird symptoms and talk to your doc if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
