Can Using Topical Steroids For Scalp Psoriasis Affect The Growth Of Genitals?
I am 20 years old, and I use topical steroids for my (pivalate .1% cream corticosteroids) scalp psoriasis( dermatitis lupus or whatever it s called). So, if the steroids go in my blood stream, im scared that they will make my clitoris grow or stop my breast from growing. What can I take to increase breast growth and shrink my clitoris, to look my feminine and cute and stuff.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There is a very small rate of absorption of topical steroids so it is unlikely that the steroids used on your scalp would absorb into your body to cause the effects that you mention.
They may cause local effects (affect the area applied) but should not cause significant wide spread effects.
I hope this helps
