Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have eczema. There is redness in my cheeks. I have used Corticosteroid cream for six days. Are there any side effects to using it?
Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Corticosteroids should never be applied without a doctor's advice. Also, certain steroids should never be applied to the face.
If you could send me photos and details, I will be able to give you proper suggestions. Till then, do not use anything on your own. It does more harm than good.
Consult a dermatologist online for further treatment.
I hope this information helps you.
Feel free to ask further queries.
Thank you.
