Will steam damage my iPhone?

Yes I know this is an odd question, but:

I usually bring my phone to the bathroom and put it in the cabinet when I shower. But when I take it out, the screen is a bit steamy.

I don't get it wet or anything, but will some steam damage it? Or are the crevices too small for steam to enter?

I just want to know if I should stop doing this or not.

Yes. Excessive moisture and humidity can damage the phone. Don't do that.

Like sometimes the screen is a bit steamy. I put it in the cabinet, hoping that will lower the amount of steam coming in, but still there is a little steam coming into the cabinet. I guess I shouldn't bring my phone in the bathroom if I shower. And I probably shouldn't take a shower at the maximum temperature so that it isn't so steamy.
