Has anyone else had severe side effects from Fluticasone 0.005% Ointment? I'm scared!

#eczema #psoriasis #skin care #medication

I was prescribed Fluticasone 0.005% Ointment for my eczema, but I'm starting to worry about the side effects. I've read about some pretty scary stuff like allergic reactions, high blood sugar, and even signs of a weak adrenal gland. Has anyone else experienced these or similar issues? I'm trying to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks.

I'm an RN and I've seen patients have severe reactions. If you experience any of those urgent side effects, seek medical help immediately. Don't mess around with this stuff.

I've been using it for a while and haven't had any issues. But I did read the side effects list and it's pretty scary. Maybe talk to your doctor about alternative treatments?

I had a mild allergic reaction at first, but it went away after a few days. Stick with it and see if your body adjusts. But definitely keep an eye out for those urgent symptoms!

I've never had any issues, but I always check with my dermatologist before starting any new medication. She's been a lifesaver!

I switched to a different ointment because I was worried about the side effects. It's always good to have a backup plan. Maybe try something else if you're feeling uncertain?

I got some burning after using the ointment, but it went away quickly. I'm not sure if it was a side effect or what, but it wasn't too bad.
