Is it okay to use a steroid cream to treat my psoriasis?
assistant
It depends on the type of steroid cream you are using. If it is a topical steroid, then it may be safe for short-term use to help reduce inflammation and redness associated with mild to moderate cases of psoriasis. However, long-term use can increase the risk of skin thinning, stretch marks, and other side effects. Speak to your doctor before beginning any treatment plan to determine if steroids are right for you.
