Could it be bad to apply cortizone (hydrocortisone) 10 everyday?

Topical steroid meds: Long term use of topical steroid may cause thinning of your skin, striae, acne. If you need to use it for a long time, you should see a doctor to see why and if you need that medication for so long and get a correct diagnosis.
