Hello,
Consider visiting a dermatologist because you may need to stop it. Using corticosteroids for so long on your face can make it fragile and increase chances of being infected. I think you may need antibiotic treatment and retinol to treat your face.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
