Hello doctor,
I am 26 years old. I am trying to find a way to heal my skin after abuse of cortisone creams. Quite specifically, in between my eyebrows, my skin is seriously thin and looks damaged. I stopped using the cortisone creams before four years, and I was given them to use due to allergic reaction hives. I am skeptical of using acids and any chemicals. I have hyperpigmentation on my forehead and do not want to worsen it. I have been reading vitamin C and vitamin E creams, but do not know which is the best. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- How long did you use cortisone cream over the face?
- Repair of steroid induced damage requires a lot of patience.
- In mild to moderate cases, gentle cleanser - Cetyl alcohol based with barrier repair agents containing Ceramide and Hyaluronic acid suffice.
- In cases where damage is severe, we recommend an immunomodulator cream like Pimecrolimus. But, I would not suggest it without your physician checking your skin.
- For now, I suggest moisturizing sunscreen during the day and barrier repair creams at night.
