What are the possible side effects of topical steroids?

The same medications that are most effective for controlling inflammation, steroids, have side effects of their own. Anyone who has used topical steroids -- skin creams -- for eczema or other conditions knows that, over a period of time, the skin will grow thinner, more like scar tissue than healthy skin. We are especially careful when the inflammation is on the face, because the skin is thinner, and damage is highly visible.

Yet in the short run, relief from itching and flaking is worth it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
