Red patches

2020-07-05 17:06:54
Around 10 days ago I was suddenly having acne breakout after which a doc prescribed tonenglo facewash, aziderm 20% for morning and deriva bpo for night. In a week, I was feeling dryness around the corners of my nose and lower lip. So I stopped using deriva. Now I have these red patches under my lower lip and I don't know what to do. I applied cetaphil moisturizer since I thought it is bcz of dryness but it only seems to have spread a bit. Will really appreciate advice on this.
