I recently started using Olux 0.05% Aerosol Foam 100gm for my psoriasis, and while it's helped with the itching and redness, I'm worried about the side effects. Has anyone else had issues with this medication? I've heard horror stories about things like Cushing's syndrome and adrenal gland problems. Are these common? Also, does anyone have tips for avoiding the more minor side effects like skin irritation? I really need some advice from people who have been through this!

Don't forget about the eye stuff. I had a friend who got severe eye irritation from Olux. She had to stop using it and switch to a different treatment. So if you notice any changes in your vision or pain in your eyes, talk to your doctor.

I had a really bad reaction to Olux. Started getting these weird pimples and stretch marks on my skin. It was scary. My doctor switched me to a different treatment, and it's been much better. If you notice anything weird, definitely talk to your doctor.

Oh man, I'm just here for the Olux hate. I've got stretch marks from it, and I'm pretty sure the cortisol sebaceous glands are out and about.

Olux can be a lifesaver for psoriasis, but it's definitely not without risks. Be really cautious and monitor your blood sugar levels if you have any history of diabetes. I had a friend who ended up with Cushing's syndrome, so it can happen, especially if you're not careful with the dosage and duration of use.

I've had no problems with Olux so far, but I make sure to only use it on the affected areas and not too frequently. It's all about moderation, I think. I'd suggest talking to your dermatologist about any concerns you have. They can give you personalized advice based on your condition.

For those with kids who have eczema, Olux can be a game-changer. But yeah, keep an eye out for the side effects. If anything feels off, trust your instincts and get medical advice.

I think the key is to be vigilant about any changes in your body. If you start noticing symptoms like rapid breathing or fruity-smelling breath (which can indicate high blood sugar), get to a doctor ASAP. It's better to be safe than sorry.

For avoiding skin irritation, I found that applying a light moisturizer after the Olux foam had soaked in helped a lot. It sounds like minor advice but made a huge difference for me. Plus, it feels great on your skin.

I've been using Olux for a while and haven't had any major issues. Just a bit of skin irritation at the application site, but it's manageable. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully and don't use it more often than prescribed. Good luck!

Skin thinning? Is it typical?
