Tropical steroid withdrawal
This condition is not common in India known as tropical steroid withdrawal. It has covered all my face with blood red skin and brown dry layer. The skin is peeling and is burning a lot. Consulted many derms but no one has the correct treatment. Everyone goes with tropical creams or other steroids which it making it worse. Facing it from 6 months

Very legitimate problem. Dermatologists in India are recently facing this problem of patients who have self medicated or erroneously been given steroid creams for various reasons. I agree it is difficult to treat but with slow tapering and adding enough moisturiser under guidance of a qualified dermatologist should help you.
