What side effects could you have from using an expired topical cortisoid ointment ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ineffectiveness: Really nothing serious. It just might be as effective as it should be. Be sure to never apply high potency corticosteroids for more than a few days on sensitive skin such as the face, because it can cause thinning of the skin. :-)
