I'm a bit nervous about the potential for thinning of the skin. Has anyone else had this issue, or is it just a risk we have to live with? I wish there was more research on the long-term effects.
Westcort is amazing for my skin. I've never had any side effects. But I'm still worried about the long-term effects. Anyone know what happens if you use it for years?
I switched from a different steroid cream to Westcort and I've had great results. The redness has gone down a lot, but I do worry about some of the long-term side effects mentioned in the package insert. Has anyone had any of the severe reactions listed?
I've been using it sparingly and it's been great. But I wish the generic version was just as good but cheaper. It looks like a copycat of a much more expensive cream.
I tried Westcort and it made my skin feel really dry. I had to stop using it and go back to my old cream. Maybe it just didn't work for my skin type.
I used to have severe eczema flares, and this cream has been a lifesaver. It calms down my skin so well. I make sure to apply it after a shower when my skin is still damp. It works way better that way!
I've had no issues with Westcort. It helps tremendously with my psoriasis flare-ups, and the side effects listed don't seem to be an issue.
I've been using Westcort for a while now, and it's been a game-changer for my psoriasis. I apply a thin layer twice a day and it has helped significantly with the itching and swelling. I did experience some initial stinging, but it went away after a few days.
I had a bad reaction to this cream. It made my skin so much worse and I had to go to the doctor. Be careful, folks! I was one of the unlucky ones with the allergic reaction.
I apply a very thin layer and have had no issues. The package says it's gonna cause Cushing's syndrome but no idea what that is! Has anyone else experienced that?
