Cordran 0.05% Lotion: My Experience and Concerns about Side Effects

I've been using Cordran 0.05% Lotion for the past few weeks to treat my eczema, and it's been a game-changer in terms of reducing redness and itching. However, I can't shake off the worry about potential side effects, especially the severe ones. I've read about allergic reactions and signs of high blood sugar, which are pretty scary. Has anyone else experienced these issues? I'm curious to know if the benefits outweigh the risks for most people. Also, how do you manage the side effects if they do occur?

I've used Cordran for years to manage my psoriasis. It's true that the side effects list is daunting, but I've never experienced anything serious. Just some dry skin and itching, but nothing that bothered me enough to stop using it. I do recommend patch testing before applying it to large areas.

I'm glad you mentioned the potential for severe side effects. I've always been cautious with topical steroids, but it's good to see others talking about their experiences. For anyone worried, always consult your dermatologist before making any changes.

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the emotional side effects. My mood swings were pretty noticeable when I first started using it. Definitely something to consider.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm definitely going to talk to my doctor about this before continuing. Any other lotions you recommend?

I tried Cordran and it didn't work for me. I had some burning sensation and it didn't seem to help with my eczema. I switched to a different topical and it was much better.

Just started using it last week and so far so good. Hopefully, I won't have any issues but always good to be aware of the risks!

I had such bad skin changes and they didn't go away for months after I stopped using it. I don't know if it's worth the risk.
