HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Oral steroids should not be used consistently unless there is absolutely no choice.
Continual use of oral steroids is associated with skin changes such as thinning of the skin, increase blood pressure, liver damage, acne, slow wound healing.
This is the reason that your doctor is not giving you this medication consistently.
I hope this helps
