To be followed: Your doctor needs to follow your lesions to confirm that they are healing, and that you are not using it too much. You should never use a steroid cream like Lidex (fluocinonide) for longer than 2-4 weeks at a time, as it can cause problems if you use it too long, such as breaking down the collagen in your skin.
