Hi Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health problems.
Long term application of corticosteroids (Betasol cream) on skin can cause dermal/epidermal atrophy and skin thinning. As skin around mouth is already thin application of steroid aggravated it. So avoid chronic use of betasol on skin.
