Hi,
It should not be used without prescription. Iif you are already using, limit to less than 10 days. Only finger tip cream to be used. There may be better option than steroids. You may consult a physician. Doing pranayam can strengthen your immune system and uplift allergy from root cause, 'Art of Living' course is a good option.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
