I've heard that some people use a steroid cream to treat their psoriasis. Is this safe?
assistant
Yes, using topical steroids can be effective in treating mild to moderate cases of psoriasis. However, it is important to follow the instructions carefully and only use the cream for the prescribed length of time. Long-term use may cause side effects such as skin thinning, stretch marks, and increased risk of infection. It is also important to consult with a dermatologist before beginning any treatment plan.
