I used masc maxicortan for 5 days, then I had a week break, I used 7 days again, again 7 days break, now I use it again, from 4 days, is it possible? On the leaflet he writes not to use for more than 7 days ... And what can be the breaks? In the leaflet he writes that it causes cushing syndrome, it scared me.

The general guidelines are that the shorter the duration of steroid use, the smaller the area subject to application and the longer the intervals between individual treatments, the lower the risk that side effects will occur. The leaflet for Maxicortan states that "do not use for more than 7 days without your doctor's advice". This is to protect the patient from abuse of the drug or its unjustified use. If you have to return to applying this cream several times, it is likely that the ailments recur or appear in subsequent locations. In this situation, it seems that consultation with a doctor is justified.
