Stretch marks on skin
I have a psoriasis from last 4 years. I using steroid creams for that as prescribed by dermatologist. But I am getting stretch marks on my hands, legs, waist etc and my skin colour also changing on legs and hands, it's turning into a different kind of white colour. I informed to my dermatologist he said decrease the use of steroid creams but my psoriasis is not in control. Pls suggest how can I reduce stretch marks and how can I control my psoriasis without any side effects. I seen some home remedies in YouTube for stretch marks. Will it cure those marks. I attached some images also. Kindly reply and suggest.

Steorid creams can cause stretch marks in the long run. So it is better not to use it for long time. Tablets are there for psoriasis. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
