I just don't like how it makes my hair grow. I was thinking of stopping the cream and trying something else.
I've had severe dizziness and fatigue after using this. I stopped using it and now I'm fine.
My doctor told me if I get any signs of infection or weird skin changes, I should stop using it and call them right away.
I've had some weird skin changes, like acne and hair growth, but I'm not sure if it's from this ointment. Anyone else see stuff like that?
I've been using this for my dermatitis and it's been a lifesaver. No major side effects yet, just a bit of dryness. Moisturizing helps a lot.
I've had some weird skin reactions, but nothing too serious. My doctor said it's probably just a reaction to the ointment and to keep using it if it helps.
I had a bad reaction once. My skin got super thin and I started getting stretch marks. I stopped using it right away and told my doctor.
