HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your complain of vision and skin manifestation may not be due to steroid, but this could be due to some other condition, and that need to be investigated, you have to finish the course of steroid even if this is cause of your problem and if this is true then this has to gone away after the seas therapy, till then no need to worry this wont be harmful to you, I hope this information may helps you, have nice day.
