Anyone else dealing with annoying side effects from Elocon Cream?
I've been using Elocon Cream for a few weeks now to treat my eczema and psoriasis. It's been amazing for reducing the inflammation and itching, but I've had some concerning side effects. I've noticed some skin thinning and irritation at the application site. I also felt extremely tired for a few days, which I'm not sure is related. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? How long did it take for the side effects to go away? I'm not sure if I should see my doctor again or give it more time. Thoughts?
Skin thinning is a known side effect, so it's not surprising. Just make sure to watch for any serious symptoms, and if it gets worse, stop using it and talk to your doctor.
Those sound like the urgent side effects your mate. I would definitely call the doctor and ask. You should not have to deal with that. Be safe.
I went through this same thing. It can be frustrating. I would suggest to consult your physician with your concerns.
Elocon worked wonders for my psoriasis, but the skin irritation was a real pain. I used a gentle moisturizer after applying it, and it helped a lot. Might be worth a try for you.
Oh absolutely, I had to discontinue it because of the skin thinning. Just didn't feel right. Talk to your doc though and don't wait too long.
If you're feeling extremely tired, that could be a sign of something else. I'd definitely mention it to your doctor.
I felt the same way at first, but then it started working for me. Give it some more time, if it doesn't get better see your doctor.
I had some weird tingling when I started using it, but it went away after a week. Might just be your body adjusting.
I've used it for years and have never had any issues. Maybe it's just a sensitivity thing?
Are you using it as directed? Like I know it's a cream but make sure you are not leaving it on for too long. Always follow instructions. I tend to think you would have filed a complaint if you had a bad reaction. Though you should check with your doctor if you feel it's serious.
