Well it depends on their potency and efficacy and the area they are used on..yea longterm of topical steroids might result in skin thinning and stretch marks so short term is advisable but in sufficient dose..consult your doctor about duration of therapy..normally initial therapy should be less concentrated compound like 1% hydrocortisone and if it doesn't show any results then most potent compound should be used with maintainance dose of less potent steroids.. i guess you doc is giving you the right.just consult him and follow his dose and duration there won't be a problem.
