  5. Ive been using Sternon-S lotion for nutritional psoriasis as prescribed by my doctor. Im applying it only on the middle fingernail of my left hand, which has pitting. However, my entire body has started itching. Could this be a side effect of the lotion, or is it something else? Ive been using it for 3 days, and Im also taking Viterma capsules.

Ive been using Sternon-S lotion for nutritional psoriasis as prescribed by my doctor. Im applying it only on the middle fingernail of my left hand, which has pitting. However, my entire body has started itching. Could this be a side effect of the lotion, or is it something else? Ive been using it for 3 days, and Im also taking Viterma capsules.

Sternon-S lotion contains steroids, which can have side effects, especially with prolonged use. The itching sensation on your entire body could be due to:1. Steroid-induced itching: A known side effect of topical steroid use.2. Allergic reaction: You might be allergic to one of the lotion's ingredients.3. Systemic absorption: Although unlikely, it's possible that the steroid is being absorbed into your bloodstream, causing itching.Other factors to consider:1. Viterma capsule: Interactions between the capsule and the lotion might be contributing to the itching.2. Psoriasis itself: Psoriasis can cause itching, and the lotion might not be fully addressing the underlying condition.Stop using the lotion: Temporarily discontinue use to see if the itching subsides.
