I've been using elocon cream on very small parts of face to treat psoriasis for 7 years. would this cause my face shape to change or my collagen to loosen and make my skin look older? i've only been using it near nose and eyebrow?

: Continued use of any steroid cream can lead to some atrophy of the area being treated. There are other non-steroid creams to treat psoriasis. See a dermatologist for evaluation of this rash { it might be seborrheic dermatitis } and seek treatment with a non steroid cream.
