Hi,

Steroid creams should never be used for long term especially in areas with thin skin such as face, arm folds. Steroids produce glamorous results in the beginning causing the patients to continue the treatment beyond the prescription period. Steroids will increase and accelerate all signs of ageing and leave a dry and wrinkled skin. You have to slowly withdraw from the drug. You have been shifted to mild steroid which is a good step. Slowly this should also be reduced.

Continue cleansing,toning and moisturising every day. Stay hydrated and increase antioxidant and vitamin containing fruits and vegetables in your every day diet.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
