Hi I am 24 years old. I have dry and itchy reddish patches on my legs. Doctor suggested me with propynate cream. I kept using it long term whenever the problem came back. I heard that it s a steroid cream and using it long term can cause irreversible problems. I am facing a lot of hair loss now, is this because of using the ointment long term? What problems else can be caused in my situation? I still see those patches but I don t use propynate ointment anymore. Can someone suggest me what should be done?
Hiu r right that propagate is steroid cream, but it has only local effect .if u r use it more than 6 months daily, then it can cause effect.most side effect r reversible have to take it as advised it can not cause hair loss .use good moisturizer and tacrolimus 0.1% cream for eczema hair loss is due to hormonal effect
