When stopping steroids after long-term use, the steroid dose must be reduced gradually over a long time period. Once steroids have been stopped in this way, the adrenal glands are able to start making normal levels of steroid (the body needs steroids to maintain function), but they may not be able to boost natural steroid production during times of stress or injury. This can lead to severe medical problems, including shock. See similar questions...

ProKera is not a replacement for your medication, it is an addendum to treatment. Use cortisone creams, if prescribed, until the skin is clear and then use ProKera to help maintain it.

You may try using them together: apply ProKera first and then your cortisone cream to improve its penetration or alternate them. See similar questions...

Some studies show that they are most beneficial when the hair loss has been present for less than a year, and poor if it has been present for a long time. Treatment with topical steroids may be continued for up to 3 months before evaluating hair loss. Corticosteroid injections have been more effective if placed in small amounts deep within the dermis.
