Please read my post this evening about my decades long treatment with topical steroids for psoriasis. It has caused havoc in my life, though not infertility at all.

Steroids make us less able to fight infections, so routine illnesses can be life threatening to us, steroids promote insulin resistance which comes with high risk of heart disease and certain cancers, along with diabetes and all its complications.

Read any medical study on the question and you find that even low dose topical steroid use causes adrenal suppression in at least half of all users within the *first two weeks*. It only worsens with time, insidiously and without declaring itself til stuff hits fan, medically speaking.
