Well: Short-term steroid cream rarely have any side effects except if they're put on infected skin. The higher the strength the steroid cream the more likely to get the side effects of thinning of the skin hypopigmentation diabetes and osteoporosis. With typical use of steroid cream's serious side effects are rare ask your doctor for specific advice
