Has anyone used Diflorasone Diacetate 0.05% Ointment 60g for eczema or psoriasis? What was your experience?

#eczema #psoriasis #steroid cream #Diflorasone Diacetate

I've been prescribed Diflorasone Diacetate 0.05% Ointment 60g for my eczema. It's a strong steroid cream that's supposed to reduce redness, swelling, and itching. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the urgent ones like allergic reactions and high blood sugar. Has anyone else used this and can share their experience? I want to know if the benefits outweigh the risks. Also, what should I do if I experience any of the other side effects like dry skin, itching, or burning?

I've used it for psoriasis, and it worked wonders! My skin cleared up in a couple of weeks. Just be careful with the application; follow your doctor's instructions to the letter.

I switched to this after trying every other cream and it was a game-changer. My doctor told me to keep using it until my skin heals. No issues so far.

If you're worried about side effects, consider keeping a journal. Write down when you apply the cream and any symptoms you experience. It's easier to track that way.

I used it for a few months and my eczema cleared up. I did experience some dry skin, but it went away after I stopped. My doctor said it's normal. Just keep moisturizing.

I had a bad reaction to it. Got hives and my skin got really irritated. Switched to a different cream and it was fine.

Make sure you don't use it too much. I had a friend who used it way more than prescribed and ended up with some nasty side effects. Stick to the prescription!

What was the dosage for the friend who got nasty side effects? I need to know how often to apply it to avoid that.

Be cautious if you have diabetes. I know someone who had to deal with high blood sugar symptoms. It was awful.

Just don't apply it to your face unless your doctor says so. I saw on some forum that some people got weird reactions near their eyes. Cool post though, thanks.

I tried this and it didn't work. Go figure. I tried a different steroid cream and it worked fine. Maybe it's just not for me.
