[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1733510, member: 223921"] They can do. Normally only if very potent cream is used or the instructions for use are not followed. " If used as directed, topical corticosteroids are a very safe treatment. Serious side effects usually only occur if excessive amounts of potent or very potent corticosteroids are applied. However, there are some things to consider while taking topical corticosteroids. High levels of potent topical corticosteroids can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body, leading to side effects, such as: hyperglycaemia – an increase in blood sugar levels high blood pressure (hypertension)" [URL]https://www.your.md/condition/corticosteroid-preparations-topical/#introduction[/URL] Edit to add I cannot from experience advise directly on this as my doctor will not prescribe these creams for me as he is unhappy with the amount of steroids I am already taking and won't chance increasing it. The steroids I have taken over the years gave me cushings skin is badly effected, and diabetes so I say stay clear of steroids unless absolutely necessary. [/QUOTE]
