Creams that contain cortisone are often used to treat mild to moderate skin problems, such as redness, itching and flaking. But cortisone is a steroid and too much can cause bad things to happen.

With prolonged use, the skin may start to thin, and you might even develop a kind of addiction, meaning your skin becomes dependent on the cream.
