Can over usage of the topical steroids for the face cause redness and itchy rahses?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Your condition is known as topical steroid-dependent face damage. Long-term use of steroid creams causes thinning of skin, redness, prominent vessels, some hair growth, photosensitive, etc. Also, when one tries to withdraw, they can have redness, darkness, pimple-like lesions, etc. The only way to treat this is to stop using the cream and apply Tacrolimus and some topical anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent withdrawal symptoms. You can take Levocetirizine 5 mg once a day for itching. It takes several weeks to months to see good results. Take care.
