Diprosone. Possible Side Effects.

This drug’s most common side effects are burning, irritation, dryness and itching of the affected area. Application of topical glucocorticoids can sometimes suppress the body's cortisol production. This usually happens in the case of potent products such as an augmented formulation. If the body absorbs a potent glucocorticoid it can have an increased concentration of glucose in the blood (which can cause problems especially in the case of diabetics). Other common effects are symptoms of excess of glucocorticoid (such as weight gain, psychiatric issues and a redistribution of the body’s fat stores). An excess with glucocorticoids suppresses the inflammation, making the immune system allowing infections to occur easily then before.
