Steroid cream after laser resurfacing for 3 weeks but now cheeks getting red and hot again? (photo)

Asked By:AmericanExpat in Riyadh, SA

During my 1 week check up I still had a lot of redness and was given topical steroid cream twice per day. I had this same procedure 3 years ago and redness lasted 8 weeks so not sure why he was concerned. I am very fair. Anyway, the cream seemed to help at first but now cheeks are getting red and hot again. Should I keep using the cream this long? I am worried it may do more harm than good at this point. Thanks.
