To all people who have used topical steroids long term?
You know. a creams as well as lotions to soothe eczema as well as a little alternative skin conditions. Anyways what remedy have we used, as well as for how long? Especially if we used it for 2years and let me know have we beheld any side affects. People greatfully answer, or get someone we know who falls in any of these categories to answer. we would conclude it so much.

My aunt used them for quite some time to relieve seborrheic dermatitis on her face.The skin all around her nose became very thin and her capillaries became very prominent.Here is a list of side effects that I found.
The most common side effects occur locally in the areas of skin treated with the steroid. Probably the most well known is thinning of the skin (atrophy), which sometimes results in permanent stretch marks (striae). Fine blood vessels may swell and become prominent under the skin surface (telangiectasia), again a permanent change There may be a temporary loss of pigment in the areas of skin treated; this may be more noticeable in dark-skinned people. Sometimes the skin may become allergic to the steroid, making the eczema appear to get worse. The skin may also bruise more easily and become more susceptible to infection. For this reason topical steroids should never be used to treat inflamed skin that is also infected, unless the infection is also being treated.Hope this helps.
