Could this be steroid rosacea? (photos)

Asked By:Cindy8572 in Arvada, CO

Had surgery on 5/10/14 and had a bad reaction to Clyndamicin. Few days later My face turned red. Few weeks later I broke out in tiny itchy red bumps all over my face and part of my ear. It was really swollen and extremely itchy. I've seen over 10 doctors (dermatologists) included. I've also told them Prior to the surgery I had been mixing small amounts of steroid cream with face cream(I know really bad idea). I've been told I have Demodicidosis,steroid acne, hormonal acne and recently rosacea.
