Hi again

Just wondering if those of you using steroid cream (i.e Dermovate) have experienced any weight gain????

I was prescribed Dermovate (described as high potency) to apply daily and although my consultant has tried to cut it down to every other day - I get flare ups and have had to return to daily use - I have been applying it daily now since xmas eve and have been gaining weight, despite a healthy diet and exercise regime cry - anybody else having this problem?

Thanks for any experiences you can share

Tracey
