there is a kind of steroid cream, which is prescribed for ppl with skin eczema. I used them b4, but they make your epidermis layer thinner, which leads to abrasions easily, and they may make u more susceptible to fungi infections since they make good nutrients for fungi.

steroids are not illegal....they r also used in medical treatments
In chemistry and biology, steroids are a type of lipid, characterized by a carbon skeleton with four fused rings. Hundreds of distinct steroids have been identified in plants and animals. Their most important role in most living systems is as hormones.
In human physiology and medicine, the most important steroids are cholesterol, the steroid hormones, and their precursors and metabolites.
In conversation, the term "steroid" is often used more restrictively in specific contexts. For instance, "steroid" in common medical usage by non-endocrinologists usually refers to corticosteroids, nearly always glucocorticoids. In an athletic or body-building context, "steroid" commonly refers to anabolic steroids.
Different steroids vary in the functional groups attached to these rings. Cholesterol is an important steroid, being a common component of animal cell membranes. However, a high level of it can cause various conditions and diseases, including atherosclerosis. Most other steroids are synthesized from cholesterol. Also, various hormones, including vertebrate sex hormones, are steroids created from cholesterol.
There are also various specific categories of steroids, including:
Anabolic steroids - used by athletes to increase performance.
Corticosteroids - affects metabolism and electrolyte excretion.
Sex hormones - androgens, estrogens, and progestagens
Prohormones - precursors to actual steroid hormones, manufactured by bodybuilding supplement companies
Steroid hormones have their physiological effects by binding to steroid hormone receptor proteins. The binding of steroid hormones to their receptors causes changes in gene transcription and cell function. -
