My face rash is back with a vengeance, although nothing feels
particularly wrong with the rest of me. My face feels tight and stings
a little when I apply my normal moisturizers and sunblock. Does anybody
have a particular topical med to calm the malar rash when it strikes?

Thanks,
Pell

Sorry, in the past 15 yrs I've tried lots of stuff; nothing works because
it's metabolical. At least they think it is. In my case the only thing that
helped was Prednisone. Have you noticed that it gets worse in the morning
after you eat breakfast? I've talked to people that had that same problem.
Can't explain it.

No, but mine can worsen with stress, lack of sleep, heat, exercise of
any kind and sun. It's often worse around dinner time if I don't leave
work and go home. A red stripe down the right side tells me I need to
go home NOW!

Most of the time my face rash is mild to the point of being
unnoticeable. That's why it's bothering me now. Quite different and
definitely red enough to catch the attention of passersby.

Hi Pell. I find that topical corticosteroids work well for me. (eg Diprosone
and Betnovate) Good luck :)

Hi, Grey.

I asked the following question by email, then realized you probably
wouldn't be able to reach me through the Hotmail address. I'll ask
again in the group:

Are Diprosone and Betnovate over-the-counter or prescription topicals?

Thanks,
Pell

Hi. I've been using SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel and it helps
alot with that hot. tingly feeling and it makes the color not as
noticable.
