Propaderm Information: Propaderm Cream is a strong and rapidly effective treatment for inflammed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.Propaderm cream is one of a group of medicines called topical steroids. "Topical" means they are put on the skin. Topical steroids reduce the redness and itchiness of certain skin problems. (They should not be confused with "anabolic" steroids misused by some body builders and athletes and taken as tablets or injections).
Propaderm Side Effects: Using Propaderm causes no side effects if used in the right amount for the correct length of time. IF you find your condition gets worse during treatment you may be allergic to the cream or have a skin infection.
STOP USING THE CREAM AND TELL YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Using more than the correct amount may:
thin the skin so that it damages easily
allow the active ingredient to pass through the skin and affect other parts of the body, especially in infants and children, and during pregnancy.
Repeated courses of topical steroids over a long time may sometimes cause changes in hair growth and skin colour.
Rarely, when used on psoriasis (or on stopping treatment) it may make the condition worse e.g. a pustular form of the disease may occur. That is why, if used in this condition, your doctor will want to see you regularly.
