Topical Steroid Creams on Face..?

Please never ever dispense Potent steroid creams for face which holds the softest skin of our body. That too for a lady? 
Safer steroid to be applied on the facial skin is HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE which is a weakly potent steroid.
From Dr.Naina Mohammed.
With long-term use of topical steroid the skin may develop permanent stretch marks (striae), bruising, discolouration, or thin spidery blood vessels (telangiectasias). Topical steroids may trigger or worsen other skin disorders such as acne, rosacea and perioral dermatitis. Skin colour may change.
