Asked By:Sociable7986 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
In my early 20s I suffered from dermatitis on my eyelids and was prescribed hydrocortisone cream 0.5%. I was never told about steroids & skin. I used it very intermittently over a 3 year period when I had a flare up, which normally went away in a few days. I noticed a few years ago that I had slightly overhanging skin on my eyes and had one session of fraxel to correct it. It worked well. My only question is now is is it possible that the cream could have caused fat atrophy? How likely is this?
