Brief Answer:
How often and for how long have you used them consistently?

Detailed Answer:
HI,

If you've used these for three months with no improved results, I will recommend potent strength steroid medications for this. However, you ned a prescription for this to be served. For that reason, I will say talk to your dermatologist.

If you have not used them faithfully for at least 4weeks, I will recommend you do so before seeking prescription strength steroids for this.

I wish you well and hope to hear back from you on what the immediate thoughts are and what the outcome is.
