What Causes Severe Redness On The Skin After Using Rosacea Cream?
I went to the dermatologist and they said I have Roceasea, the cream they gave me seems to burn when I put it on and it makes my skin even more red. I have read a lot about it and it says it affects cheeks, nose and chin but this is around my mouth. should I stop using the cream they gave me?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe redness on the skin after using Rosacea cream which occurs due to allergic reaction, frcitional heat, clogged pores of sebaceous glands of skin with dead bacteria, sleeplessness. The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of certain medicine as in your case so consult doctor about it .Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply aloe vera gel , apply cold compresses and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream , retinoids or recommend procedures like laser therapy and immunosuppressants .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
