I have the chronic addiction of using topical steroid ointments like clobetasol and i have been using them from past 15 years.
Now, i want to abstain from its use but it gets complicated as i feel inflammation on my face.
So recommend me some immediate remedy.

1. Start using a sunscreen
2. Limit sun exposure
3. Use a moisturiser regularly.
These will reduce irritation that may come up on with drawing the steroid cream.
4. You'll need low dose anti biotics and other prescription creams for which you'll need to see a qualified dermatologist near you. Warm regards Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru

it may be tempting to restart the steroid but try to avoid it completely.
