Has anyone used Kenalog 0.1% Cream for eczema or psoriasis? Share your experiences and side effects!
I've been prescribed Kenalog 0.1% Cream for my eczema. The doctor says it's a corticosteroid that should help with the swelling, redness, and itching. Has anyone else used this cream for eczema or psoriasis? I'm curious to hear about your experiences, especially any side effects you've noticed. The list of potential side effects is a bit worrying, so I'm hoping to get some real-life insights. Thanks in advance!

I've used it for a while now, and it's been a game-changer for my psoriasis. Just be careful with the application; I had a bit of thinning skin at the site. Definitely follow the doctor's advice and avoid long-term use if not necessary.
I've used it for my daughter's eczema, and it worked wonders, but I noticed some dry skin and itching, but nothing too bad. Just make sure to moisturize afterward.
I've noticed some thinning of my skin where I apply it, but it’s nothing compared to the relief it gives my psoriasis flare-ups. Just a bit of a trade-off for me. Just make sure you use it as directed.
My dermatologist warned me about the risks of using it too often. It's great for short-term relief, but I might have to look into other options for long-term management.
I heard it can cause high blood sugar levels. Has anyone experienced this? I have a family history of diabetes, and I'm a bit worried.
My friend used it and ended up with stretch marks. She was really upset about it, so I'm a bit hesitant to try it.
I've never had any issues. I've been using it for years, and I've never noticed any major side effects. I think everyone's experience can be different though, so just be careful and follow the instructions.
I had a severe allergic reaction to it. Definitely keep an eye out for those symptoms! Swelling of the face and tongue is no joke. I had to rush to the ER.
I swear by this stuff. I've had really bad eczema flare-ups, and this has been my savior. I just make sure to use it sparingly and keep an eye out for any weird symptoms.
