Yes those are steroid related side effects. The skin will take some time to heal and return back to normal. For now use a gentle cleanser like cetaphil, a good moisturiser for barrier repair like cebhydra cream 4-5 times in a day, a good sunscreen and tab limcee twice a day for 30 days and levocetrizine for itching. For further treatment consult a dermatologist.
