Hydrocortisone 0.5% over used in infant

2020-02-28 06:15:24
I applied hydrocortisone on my 4 month old son for 3 months continuously until a friend told me not to as it has several side effects and can lead to cushing disease. I have completely stopped applying it now but am worried about his health and future. Should I get any blood test or something done. I have read about its adverse effects and can see hair growth on my 4 month old legs.
