I went back to the dr's office but she was not there. Therefore the skin estetition told me that I have been using to much moisturizer and it agrivated it. I did shave a very small quarter size area on my chin just because I had to go to the store. she said that it agrivated it too. I asked for a extra steroid dose pack but she refused.
