A member asked:

Does using topical corticosteroids on nose for years cause permanent nose swelling? can topical corticosteroids cause permanent face swelling?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Nasal swelling can occur from inflammation and vascular disturbance. Chronic use of topical corticosteroids can cause atrophy and thinning of the skin but is not a cause of swelling. You should limit the use of this product and seek a dermatologist if you have a chronic problem in the facial skin.

Would be very rare unless using high dose of a potent steroid. Discuss with your Dr.

Consult with your dermatologist and or ENT specialist. Discontinue use until you get an answer.
