Has anyone had success with Kenalog 0.1% Cream for treating eczema?
I've been struggling with eczema for years and my dermatologist recently prescribed Kenalog 0.1% Cream. I've read about the potential side effects and I'm a bit nervous about using it. Has anyone else tried this and if so, what was your experience? Did you find it effective and were there any side effects? Any advice is appreciated!

I've had good luck with Kenalog for eczema, but it took a few weeks to see noticeable improvement. Stick with it, but if you notice any serious side effects, stop using it and call your dermatologist.
I'm glad I found this thread. I was prescribed Kenalog and a bit worried but I guess I'm going to try it.
Why are you nervous? Read the label and talk to your doctor before using it?
Kenalog helped with my dermatitis, but my doctor warned me about the potential side effects. I noticed some thinning of the skin, so I had to switch to a less potent cream. And I only used a thin layer.
I keep the cream in the fridge. Keeps my skin from getting too irritated.
I think Kenalog is definitely worth a try, but just be cautious. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions closely and watch for any signs of allergic reactions or other severe side effects.
I used Kenalog for my psoriasis and it worked wonders. My skin calmed down within a week, but I did notice some dryness.
Hope it works for you! Try to keep track of any changes in your skin and note any improvements or issues.
Sometimes topical steroids can be a bit of a hassle, but you need to find the right balance. Take it easy.
