How Long Can Dermovate Cream Be Applied On The Face?

I have used dermovate cream in my face for little eczema spots but was told that is very bad...that it is a very strong steroid and will damage my skin. I have done this for years and seen no side effects or problems. The question is therefore two-fold: -should I discontinue using it in this way? -if so what should I use as a replacement?

Hello Dear
I evaluated your concern in depth .
(1) It is corticosteroid drug containing cream you must discontinue using it
in this way .
Start to apply on tapering basis as
once a day then alternate day, 2 times a week , once a week then stop.
(2) no other replacement in same form recommended .
I suggest natural remedy in form of Aloe Vera gel as best suitable for
you.
Hope this will definitely help you .
