Hormonal creams have always been a double-edged sword. They are very effective in treating various types of skin diseases, but at the same time have greater side effects, so it is important to try not to use them for a long time. Hormone creams are divided into different categories, and clinically they are usually divided into four categories: super-strong, strong, medium and weak. The super-strong hormones and strong hormones are mainly suitable for severe hypertrophic lesions, and are generally used for no more than 2-3 weeks continuously. Children under 12 years old should not use them, and they should not be used for a long time on the face, breasts and pubic area where the mucous membranes and skin are delicate. Medium-acting hormones are suitable for mild to moderate lesions and can be applied continuously for 4-6 weeks, and should not be used continuously for more than 2 weeks in children under 12 years old. Weak-acting hormones can be used for a short period of time over a larger area, and can be used for a long period of time if necessary, but always under the guidance of medical advice. It is also important to reduce the dosage slowly when taking the medication to avoid rebounding of the disease.
