I was told to sparingly apply a 0.05% topical steroid cream by my dermatologist for eyelid dermatitis for 7 days max. I applied the cream twice a day for 5 days, and on the 6th and 7th day applied once. I'm off of it now. On day 5, I noticed my cheeks were getting a bit red/ warm. Same thing on day 6. Today I still have mild flushing on my cheeks. My eyelids are fine. Could the topical steroid have caused rosacea on my cheeks, even though I didn't apply it in that area? Thanks

Thank you for your question. You should be very transparent with both surgeons about the procedures you are to experience. It is the most reliable way to create an actionable treatment plan that works for you. Most importantly, you should ensure that both doctors are board certified facial...
Fading creams will not work for moles or birthmarks, unfortunately the only solutions are either lasers or surgical interventions. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser DermatologistBRISBANE, Australia.
Costs vary by the type of treatment. I would suggest the Kareskin Brightening Kit with Melarase creams as a first line therapy followed by Clear and Brilliant if necessary afterwards. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
