I've just started using Clocortolone Pivalate 0.1% cream for my eczema, and I'm curious if anyone else has experience with it. I was prescribed this for my severe, flare-up prone eczema. I have read about the urgent side effects and it sounds quite scary. Has anyone experienced any of them? Also, how long did it take for the cream to show results for you? I'm really hoping this will help with the itching and redness. Any tips on how to apply it correctly or how often?

I had trouble with the dry skin and itching, but nothing too bad. I used a gentle moisturizer and that helped a lot. I did experience some burning sensation when I applied it but it went away after a few minutes. I am just glad to have some relief from the itching.

I had a really bad reaction to it, unfortunately. I got a rash and some weird skin changes. I had to stop using it and switch to something else. I would recommend keeping an eye out for any unusual symptoms and talking to your doctor right away if you notice anything.

I think it’s worth giving it a shot if your doctor recommends it. Just be super careful and pay attention to how your skin reacts.

I’ve been using this for my eczema for a while now, and it’s been great. I just make sure to use it sparingly and not overdo it.

I've been using this for my psoriasis and it's been a game-changer. Just be careful with the application. I've found that applying it after a warm shower works best for me. I've not had any side effects, thankfully. I would recommend keeping it well away from your eyes and mouth, just to be safe.

Did anyone else experience any skin irritation or burning?

I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it’s been a lifesaver. Just make sure to apply a thin layer and don’t overuse it.

I’ve been using it for a while and it’s worked great for me. I just make sure to moisturize a lot after applying. It's helped with the itching a lot, but the redness is still there. It’s made a noticeable difference though.
