You're having steroid induced dermatitis. Long term use of such creams causes thinning of skin, increased redness due to permanent dilation of the vessels and unusual sun sensitivity. You need to be slowly weaned off of the cream while simultaneously using other medication and other protective measures. Please share photographs via online consultation and I will guide you.
