Has anyone had severe side effects from Clobetasol Prop 0.05% Oint 30gm?

I've been prescribed Clobetasol Prop 0.05% Oint 30gm for my eczema, and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. The list of possible reactions is pretty scary, especially the urgent side effects. Has anyone else used this and experienced anything severe? I'm particularly worried about the risk of Cushing's syndrome and changes in eyesight. Any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful!

I stopped using it because I felt like it was thinning the skin on my elbows. It's not worth the risk for me, but it might be different for others.

I've used it for a few months and had no issues at all. It did wonders for my psoriasis. Just make sure to use it as directed and don't overuse it.

I had some burning and stinging when I first started using it, but it went away after a few days. Just stick with it and see how your body reacts.

I've been using it for years with no problems. Just be sure to use a thin layer and don't apply it to your face or underarms.

I had some mild irritation at the site of application, but nothing too bad. Just kept an eye on it and it went away. Definitely worth it for the relief it provides.

I've seen some people get really nasty infections from overusing this stuff. It's a powerful steroid, so be careful!

My friend had some weird skin changes, like stretch marks and hair growth where she applied it. She stopped using it and the symptoms went away.

I'm on my second tube and so far so good. Just make sure to wash your hands after applying it, unless you're treating your hands.
