Hi, I have heard the news that overuse of steroid causes black fungus. I have recovered from covid and had to take steroid called Medrol 16 mg 15 days before, for 1 night then 3 times for the next day. Then I dropped that medicine. I want to ask how much steroid is considered overuse, how much steroid can cause black fungus? Please help
