Steroids are incorrectly vilified. Steroids are great! They are the most effective tool we have that aren't systemic.
Yes, steroids can damage the skin if abused. But they do not damage the skin if used correctly. You can also reduce the risk of damage by using calcipotriol (also called calcipotriene in the U.S.), a form of vitamin D3. It comes either in a combination cream together with a steroid (Enstilar, Taclonex, Dovobet, etc.) or you can buy it separately, and apply it either on its own, or together with the steroid by rubbing it in at the same time. Calcipotriol has no scary side effects when used normally, and studies have found that it helps normalize the skin, cancel out the skin-thinning effects of steroids and prevent recurrence.
Just to be clear, you can use topical steroids indefinitely, and people do. I've been doing it for about 25 years without any skin damage. There are, as you say, strong steroids that aren't usually recommended for long periods of time, such as clobetasol. But milder steroids like betamethasone, fluocinonide and desoximethasone are fine, especially when combined with calcipotriol.
So. Go, steroids. And calcipotriol. But there are of course other alternatives, some of them available over the counter.
I'll copy from an earlier comment of mine:

Those are the same thing, by the way. The precise term is glucocorticoid, which is a type of corticosteroid, which is a type of steroid.
They are pills
