Hello,

Flucinonide is a strong steroid that is sometimes applied for hair and scalp problems but has the risk of producing acne or other lesions.

It is important to stop using it and let your doctor know of this side effect. He will be able to prescribe other medications that you can tolerate better.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
