Remedy for Damaged Skin Caused by Steroid Cream?

My face looks like a deflated ball. My skin is very loose, stretchy and heavily creased when I make facial expressions. Is there any way I can thicken my skin and regain it's natural appearance, texture and firmness? All help is greatly appreciated.
