Question

I've got a patch of alopecia areata near my left ear, about the size of a 1-rupee coin, where no hair is growing. My dermatologist started me on tricort 10mg injections and gave me Morr F 5 and dicaris adults tablets. I've had the tricort injection twice now. Since I know these are steroids, I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe for me at 33 with no other health issues. Can you tell me about any long-term side effects of these treatments and if I should stick with this plan?
