Steroid creams for psoriasis: How long is too long?

Hello everyone,

How are you doing? 😊

Steroid creams are a common treatment for managing psoriasis flare-ups and reducing inflammation. While they can be effective in the short term, many patients wonder how long they can safely use them. Some people worry about skin thinning, reduced effectiveness, or potential side effects if used for extended periods. 🧴

Have you used steroid creams for your psoriasis? How long have you been using them, and have you experienced any side effects? Do you know when it's time to stop or switch to another treatment?
