As no scar cream contains steroid called mometasone prolonged use of it may cause  dependence to medicine and other side effects. Now she needs proper evaluation  to determine exact extent of damage and first treatment for steroid dependency followed by scar treatment.
Next Steps
Discontinue the cream as further use may further damage the skin
Health Tips
use moisturizer and sunscreen to help in skin repair
