Referred to as Class I superpotent corticosteroids, the most robust steroid creams encompass those containing augmented betamethasone dipropionate (e.g., Diprolene), clobetasol propionate (e.g., Temovate, Olux), fluocinonide (e.g., Vanos), or clobetasol propionate (e.g., Ultravate).

If your skin becomes redder, swollen, or starts to weep yellow fluid, these are indicators of either a new skin infection or a deterioration in an existing one. If you’re using fluticasone for psoriasis and notice raised pus-filled bumps under your skin, seek medical attention.

To clarify, Cutivate Cream is not designed for skin lightening or fairness. Rather, it is prescribed for treating skin conditions associated with itching, swelling, redness, and discomfort, such as psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema.

If concurrent skin infections are present or arise, it’s crucial to employ an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent. If a favorable response doesn’t occur promptly, discontinue the use of Fluticasone Propionate Cream, 0.05%, until the infection is under control.

Typically, fluticasone cream or ointment is applied once or twice daily for up to 4 weeks. Only extend its use beyond 4 weeks if specifically advised by your doctor. When using it twice daily, aim to maintain an 8 to 12-hour gap between doses.

To minimize the risk of systemic side effects in your child, it is advisable not to apply Cutivate more than once daily or for longer than 4 weeks, unless recommended by your child’s doctor. Consulting your child’s doctor or pharmacist before combining Cutivate with additional topical medications is also recommended.

Side effects may occur, particularly with overuse. These typically manifest weeks to months after use and may include skin thinning, the appearance of stretch marks, increased susceptibility to bruising, dilated blood vessels, and, less commonly, heightened hair growth.

Mild side effects can encompass skin itching, burning, peeling, dryness, changes in skin color, headaches, skin thinning or softening, as well as skin rash or irritation around the mouth.

Prolonged use of fluticasone skin cream without breaks may result in some of the medication entering your bloodstream. In rare instances, this poses a small risk of causing serious effects, including adrenal gland problems, elevated blood sugar (hyperglycemia), skin thinning, or visual disturbances.

For the avoidance of side effects, it is recommended not to use low- to high-potency topical steroids continuously for more than three months. Combining topical steroids with antifungal agents is generally discouraged to minimize the risk of fungal infections.
