Vulnerability to black fungus due to steroids is mainly in the critically ill covid cases who were in icu for many days and were on high doses of steroids.
I think in your case since 8mg of steroids are considerably low dosage. And since u don't have diabetes. Risk of black fungus is not there in your case
Next Steps
take care
