Hello,
This is steroid cream and a prolonged use has resulted in addiction and whenever you quit,it results in withdrwal symptoms.
To get rid of this addiction, it is advised to slowly reduce the amount of steroid cream by using a lower and lower concentration over a period of time. You can try mixing the steroid cream in a gentle emollient cream and using less and less of the steroid cream in this mix.
Thanks
