question: Hello doctor, Three months back, I started to have a small red dry patch on the skin developed on my chin. I tried to keep it moisturized but it seemed to get very dry so I put some Hydrocortisone cream on it for a few days, it seemed like it was gone so I stopped using the cream but within a week it was back but bigger now. I used Hydrocortisone cream for a few more days then stopped for a few days and the same thing happened, only it was spreading by the corners of my mouth now. I tried putting Zinc diaper cream on it and my skin got very inflamed. At this point, I went to walk in clinic as I do not have a family doctor, he was not sure but thought it could be rosacea and gave me Metro gel prescription. I have been using it for about three weeks and the bumps have gone down, but not as much from the Metro gel and the fact that I stopped putting anything on my face, I only wash with Cetaphil and use Cerave moisturizer. I wear makeup for even one day the bumps start coming back all over my chin and around my mouth. I did not use any new products just the same old makeup face wash and moisturizer I had been using for years. The only thing I did differently was my skin was getting really dry so I used a microdermabrasion device just before the red patch developed.
