Persistent Severe Eczema
I have used hydrocortisone cream for quite a while on my face as it was the only thing that actually relieved my dry flaky skin. However as a result i believe it may have damaged my skin. My skin is very dry and red. I have red patches on my cheeks that don t seem too dry but never disappear and my forehead is very red and weeps whenever anythingn is applied. I also have these red patches over my jaw and neck.The affected areas go intensely red and flare up even when just applying any moisturise

Stop using hydrocortisone its not good for face, it will make your facial skin thin and red. Do you have problem of dandruff too. If you want you can send me your pictures for better diagnosis and treatment. Brand names can't be written in open forum.
