I've been struggling with eczema for years and my doctor prescribed Beta HC 1% Lotion. I've used it for a week now, and I'm not sure if it's working. Has anyone else used this and seen good results? Also, has anyone experienced any side effects? I'm a bit worried about the potential for thinning of the skin. Thanks for any advice!

It worked for me, but I also noticed some pimples on the treated area. Nothing major, but it was a bit annoying.

I've been using it for a week and it seems to be working, but I'm worried about the potential for Cushing's syndrome. Has anyone experienced any of those symptoms?

I had a really bad reaction to this stuff. Within a few days, I started getting hives and my skin felt like it was on fire. Definitely talk to your doctor if you experience anything like that!

I'm not a fan of steroids, but this stuff actually worked for me and I didn't experience any major side effects.

I've had great results with Beta HC, but I've also found that using a moisturizer afterwards helps a lot with the dryness. It's a bit of a chore, but it's worth it.

I would rather not use steroids. I found that using just a good moisturizer and avoiding irritants worked for my eczema.

How long did it take for you to notice improvements? I've been using it for 5 days and so far, nothing.
