hi dear, u were using a super potent steroid for last 13 years. this has totally damaged ur skin. paper thinning called as atrophy and redness are common side effects of this. now what ur doctor has prescribed is just moisturisers to help ur skin regain its strength. so continue with that. dont worry much u ll be fine but it ll take atleast few months, thank u
