I've been struggling with severe eczema for years and my dermatologist recently prescribed Fluocinonide 0.1% Cream. I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects, especially the serious ones like signs of an allergic reaction or high blood sugar. Has anyone else used this cream? What was your experience like? Did you encounter any of the side effects mentioned, like skin irritation or thinning of the skin? Any tips on how to manage these side effects or avoid them altogether would be greatly appreciated.

I had a friend who used this and ended up with stretch marks. Not worth the risk for me.

I tried it and it made my skin feel like it was on fire. Had to stop using it. Stick with a milder option if you can.

You know what they say: with great steroid comes great responsibility! Seriously though, follow the doctor's orders to the letter.

I'm really nervous about the side effects too. I think I'll stick with hydrocortisone for now.
