Steroid damage to skin/ dependency

2020-06-09 20:02:24
Is steroid damage reversible due to creams like betnovate C? Can it be treated and does skin becomes normal.  The skin dullness, whiteheads, thinning and uneven tone can be treated. Does skin goes back to normal after treatment or is the damage permanently not curable?
