Has anyone used Temovate 0.05% Solution for psoriasis? What was your experience like?
I recently started using Temovate 0.05% Solution for my psoriasis. I've heard it's a strong corticosteroid, and I'm a bit worried about the side effects. Has anyone else used this and can share their experience? I'm mostly concerned about the rare but serious side effects like Cushing's syndrome and a weak adrenal gland. Did any of you experience anything like this? Also, what's the best way to apply it? I don't want to miss any spots or overdo it. Thanks in advance for any insights!

I used Temovate for a while and it worked wonders for my psoriasis. Just be careful not to use it on your face or genitals, as it's very strong.
I used it for a week and it helped a lot. But I stopped because I read about the side effects and got worried. Not worth the risk for me.
I've been using it for a few months and it's helped a lot with the itching and redness. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully.
I had terrible burning and stinging when I used it. Ended up switching to something else.
I've been using it for a few years now. It's amazing for psoriasis but terrible for the skin in the long run. Obviously better than suffering.
I had a really bad reaction to Temovate. I broke out in hives and had trouble breathing. Scary stuff. Definitely talk to your doctor if you notice any weird symptoms.
My doctor warned me about the thinning of the skin. I've been using it sparingly and it seems to be working okay so far.
Temovate is a steroid and will have side effects. So many people use it and don’t realise the harm caused. But doesn't seem to be an alternative.
