"I was suffering from a rash for 10 months, and this was the only thing that brought me relief. The relief was such that I overused it, and unfortunately, it thinned my skin considerably. I ended up finding out that what was causing my rash was my blood pressure medication, so I am cured now and no longer need fluocinolone. Would I use it again? Yes. Would I be more careful? You bet I would. Way... way more careful."

"I had red patches on the skin area under my eyebrows. It is hard to notice until it spread beyond the hairy area. Then it becomes itchy and scales a lot. I sweat a lot, and obviously, sweat lines are feeding the redness. I tried all sorts of creams - nothing really worked. Actually, fluocinolone gel isn't the cure either, but it works, and it works fast. I am using the generic Sinoderm in gel form (easier to apply over the hairy area). I am using it only before bedtime. After 2-3 days, symptoms improve dramatically. Depending on the condition before I start the treatment, it can stop skin scaling and redness within 1-5 days (5 days only if the condition was neglected for a while)."

Fluocinolone topical "Keratosis: Having used this cream for 6 days I have 1 left and cannot wait to finish. Although the condition has improved following 3 weeks using Efudex cream, which caused a widespread rash, I am told it could take up to two months to clear up. I have found that after four days I had diarrhea and felt sick, I have also been feeling depressed and quite weepy over the last couple of days and lost my appetite."

Fluocinolone topical "When on holiday in hot sunny climates, I always suffer from severe heat rash. After using Synalar cream, it clears after a day or so, it is brilliant."
