Hi,
The steroid (Dexamethasone) component of sofrodex can thin the skin out with continued use over a long period. However, the medication is usually prescribed only for short duration of time. In that case skin thinning out should not be a concern. With regards to the activity, it is a combination of medication and is fast acting.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
