The difficult thing about having psoriasis on the delicate parts is that the steroids have a more damaging effect than elsewhere, which makes me really reluctant to use them there, for fear of the long term effects. My dermatologist assured me last year that long term use of mild steroids such as dactacort can be used effectively for many years without any noticeable damage being done to the skin.
I dont like the idea of using steroids continuously there to find that in 5 or 10 years time that they no longer work because the skin is so damaged and immuned to the steroids.
Has anybody used streroids 'down below' over a long peroid of time (like 10 years) without the skin becoming immuned to the steroid or becoming irreparably damaged???
