Asked By:bjh29 in Arizona, AZ

I used rx strength hydrocortisone cream on my face in certain areas for a yr. Not realizing the side effects or damage to the facial hair follicles that I was doing. Ive always had decent skin for my age just but a few yrs ago when menopause began I started to get acne. . I had to see the dermatologist last month and go back in next week. She prescribed doxycycline and neuac cream along with samples of bionect cream .Im still healing but much better!
