I'm dealing with eczema and I've been using luliconazole for it. I'm concerned about whether it's a topical steroid cream and if this could be harmful to my skin. I've also heard that steroids might increase the risk of lymphoma. Could you help clarify this for me?

Luliconazole is not a steroid cream, it is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal skin infections. It is generally safe for use on the skin and does not carry the same risks as topical steroid creams. However, like any medication, it may cause side effects such as skin irritation or redness at the application site. If you have concerns about using topical steroids for eczema, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your healthcare provider.
