If you can control it without the topical corticosteroids/cortisone try to do so... they seriously should be a last resort as they've got a lot of really nasty side effects.
Stress seems to be the biggest factor in most people I've come across who end up having their first breakout as an adult and my own skin condition flares up incredibly when I'm under stress - although for me salt water is a great way to calm it down as long as I don't let it dry on my skin.
Keep your skin moisturised, don't use anything highly perfumed and try to keep that stress under control. If you can - look into your diet as it can really help or hinder.
