A member asked:
I was putting a steroid cream in a small rash on my face, likely contact dermatitis - do i need to keep applying it once the rash has cleared up after a few days of use?

The less you use it, the better, as steroids can cause changes that might be harmful to the skin, specifically facial. Your best reference remains your treating doc.
