How to Use Topical Steroids

  1. Wash the area to be treated with warm water and a gentle soap such as Dove or Cerave.
    • Note that usually topical steroids are to be used twice daily. It is only necessary to wash the area once daily.
  2. Apply a thin layer of steroid to the affected area. Wash your hands after application (unless your hands are the area being treated).
  3. Only use the steroid where and for how long as instructed by your physician. Steroids may thin the skin if used inappropriately for long periods of time.

Note: Please contact your physician if you think the steroid has not helped after it was used as instructed.

🚨We Need Your Help!🚨

Please help your Core Dermatology physicians urge Congress to fight Medicare cuts.

Proposed Medicare cuts threaten access to skin cancer care. Washington officials are proposing deep cuts to Medicare payments for dermatology—cuts so severe they could force clinics to close and significantly reduce access to care. The result: longer waits, longer drives, and delayed skin cancer diagnoses, putting millions of older Americans at risk.
