What Should I Do For Redness And Itching On The Face After Stopping Tenovate Application?

I have been using tenovate for 3-4 months or long. If u try not to use it on face, the next day my face becomes red and itching starts. As soon as I again apply it on face the redness and itching vanishes. What should I do now? Should I use this cream on my face daily or stop using this?? If yes then what should I do to remove redness and itching??

Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and redness and itching are due to Tenovate cream. It is a strong steroid which should not be used on face. I would recommend you to stop using it immediately and apply moisturizer and sunscreen daily. Also take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
