If it is : 0.1% it is moderate strength steroid cream. You should not use it for long term because it can cause thinning, weakening, loss of pigment, and wrinkles. I am not sure if it comes 1%.

Too thick.: You just might be applying too much. Just a thin coat to cover the lesion. No less, no more.
