Just got prescribed Clotrimazole-Betamethasone Cream for my fungal skin infection. Has anyone else used this?
I've been dealing with a persistent fungal skin infection that's also causing some inflammation, and my doctor just prescribed me Clotrimazole-Betamethasone Crm 45gm. I've never used this cream before, so I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. The description says it contains both an antifungal (clotrimazole) and a steroid (betamethasone) to help with the redness, swelling, and itching. Has anyone else used this cream? What was your experience like? Also, the side effects list is pretty long and includes some scary stuff like signs of high blood sugar and Cushing's syndrome. Did anyone else have any of these issues? Any advice would be appreciated!
I used this cream for a similar issue and it worked wonders! Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully and don't use it for longer than prescribed.
I had some skin changes but they went away after I stopped using the cream. Just be patient and give it time to work.
I've used it before and found it to be very effective. Make sure to wash your hands after applying it and avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth, though.
Be careful with the steroid part. I had some bad side effects including irritated skin and even hair growth in strange places! Make sure to consult with your doctor if you have issues like that.
I had no idea steroids could cause high blood sugar! I'm glad I read this thread. I’ll be keeping an extra eye out for that.
Oh, no. I had a bad reaction to this cream. My skin got really irritated and started peeling. I had to stop using it. I should have known better.
