It's difficult to give advice from uk as our systems work so differently but I wondered if you can contact the derm to ask questions about the treatment you have been given without neccessarily having another consultation?
Will you have a follow up with them after a month or two of treatment, because if they are suggesting you just use cortisone cream for up to a year without a follow up appointment, that seems wrong, however I would try to follow their instructions until you get new instructions. If it's going to work I would think it would work within a few weeks but then I'm not a dermatologist..
So I think I'd direct my questions to them first of all, and get a follow up appointment booked so you're not left too long. If you don't get results from one cream, there will be others to try.
