Steroid-induced skin atrophy [14] [15] is often permanent, though if caught soon enough and the topical corticosteroid discontinued in time, the degree of damage may be arrested or slightly improve. However, while the accompanying telangiectasias may improve marginally, the stretch marks are permanent and irreversible.

If high doses were used for six to 10 days, reduce to replacement dose immediately and taper over four more days.
