Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Butterfly rash on the face can be related to lupus.
Other possible conditions that cause butterfly rash are rosacea.
I suggest to continue using the steroid cream for local application.
If the diagnosis of rosacea is confirmed, oral antibiotics may be needed.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
