Clobetasol 0.05% Spray 125ml: My experience and Side Effects?

I was prescribed Clobetasol 0.05% Spray for my severe eczema, and it's been a lifesaver. But I'm worried about the side effects. Has anyone else used this and what was your experience like? I've heard it can cause skin thinning and other issues. How do you know if it's actually working? Is there a point at which you should stop using it or talk to your doctor? I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and I'm wondering if I should be worried about the side effects or not.

I've used Clobetasol before. It's great for flare-ups, but you definitely shouldn't use it long-term. It worked wonders for my psoriasis but my doctor switched me to a milder steroid after a few weeks to prevent thinning of the skin.

I had to stop using it because it irritated my skin so much. I had burning and stinging the whole first week. I did not have that much luck with it either.

I used clobetasol for a few months and it did wonders for my eczema. But I had to stop because it was thinning my skin. My doctor said I could use it for flare-ups but not as a daily thing. I'd definitely talk to your doctor about how long you should be using it.

I used this for a while and it made my skin super sensitive to the sun. I had to be really careful about sunscreen and staying out of direct sunlight.
