wavey lines from hydrocortisone cream 1%

Hi..
I'm 48 but dont have any laugh lines, and dont look my age except for one huge problem HYDROCORISONE DAMAGE on the face. At 40 the areas around my nose, my cheeks by the nose area, chin, and the lines of the smile area started to become very red. I tried lots of different moisturizers, but nothing worked, and it was just getting worse. Worse was, my pores were opening, and enlarging with the constant rubbing and chemicals of the cleansers. Desperately, earlier this year used hydrocortisone as advised by one web page on the internet. Now most of the redness has gone, but I've got wavy skin in this area, and lines. Its ruined the texture of my face. I've tried cleansing the areas regularly with salaylic acid face washes, but that seems to be creating shapes, and joining up more lines! I've tried plumping creams, and doing the cleansing daily. I can't say it's really improved. Am I stuck like this? Is it fixable at my age? Or am I looking at laser resurfacing? How deep does hydrocorisone go?
