Hi,

You are using steroid cream for long time. Your fear is right. You might develop side effects after long time use of steroid cream...like depigmentation, atrophy, telangiectasis. Stretch marks..etc. some time, systemic side effects may occur..like Cushingoid syndrome , precipitation of hypertension, exacerbation of DM ,renal problem..etc . You should stop to apply steroid cream. You consult dermatologist for diagnosis of skin disease and proper treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
