Question

I'm really concerned about the long-term use of Skinlite cream. I've been using it regularly and I'm worried if it could potentially cause skin cancer. Should I keep using it or is it something that could be risky for my skin health?

This cream contains steroid. It should only be used under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist. Overuse of steroids can have lasting side effects.
