Is it safe to use a steroid cream to treat my eczema?
assistant
It depends on the type of steroid you are using and how much. Steroids can be very effective at treating skin conditions, but they should only be used under the supervision of a doctor or dermatologist. You should also be aware that steroids can cause side effects such as thinning skin, acne, hair loss, and an increased risk for infection. Before using any topical creams, it is important to consult with your doctor to determine which cream will work best for your condition.
