Has anyone had success using Beta HC 1% Lotion for eczema?

I've been struggling with eczema for years and my doctor prescribed Beta HC 1% Lotion. I've used it for a week now, and I'm not sure if it's working. Has anyone else used this and seen good results? Also, has anyone experienced any side effects? I'm a bit worried about the potential for thinning of the skin. Thanks for any advice!

I'm not a fan of steroids, but this stuff actually worked for me and I didn't experience any major side effects.

I had a really bad reaction to this stuff. Within a few days, I started getting hives and my skin felt like it was on fire. Definitely talk to your doctor if you experience anything like that!

I've had great results with Beta HC, but I've also found that using a moisturizer afterwards helps a lot with the dryness. It's a bit of a chore, but it's worth it.

How long did it take for you to notice improvements? I've been using it for 5 days and so far, nothing.

I've been using it for a week and it seems to be working, but I'm worried about the potential for Cushing's syndrome. Has anyone experienced any of those symptoms?

It worked for me, but I also noticed some pimples on the treated area. Nothing major, but it was a bit annoying.

I would rather not use steroids. I found that using just a good moisturizer and avoiding irritants worked for my eczema.
