Has anyone else had issues with sudden weight gain from Triamcinolone 0.025% Ointment?
I've been using Triamcinolone 0.025% Ointment for my eczema for about a month now, and I've started noticing some sudden weight gain. I know it's not a super common side effect, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I've been careful to only use it as directed, but I'm a bit concerned. Has anyone else dealt with this or know what might be causing it? I don't want to stop using it if it's effectively treating my eczema, but the weight gain is worrying me. Any advice or shared experiences would be much appreciated!
Weight gain isn't fun. Maybe try a different topical cream and see if that helps with the eczema?
Weight gain is a known side effect, but it's usually more pronounced with long-term use. Have you checked with your doctor?
Be careful with steroids, they can cause more harm than good if not monitored properly. Like someone said, use the smallest amount you can and see if it helps.
I had the same issue. Turns out it was because I was using too much. Try using a smaller amount and see if that helps.
I had horrible itching when I used this ointment. Definitely talk to your doctor about the weight gain before it gets worse.
