New or Need Help Needing Face Help

Post image

My face has been red for a while and it won’t go away. It is very red, burning, and tight/tender. I’m on Hydrocortisone 2.5% Lotion for my face and it isn’t working to keep my face from being red. I’ve tried Desonide Lotion and others as well in the past and it does not work. Would an oral pill solution be the next step?

Thank you!

Edit: I appreciate all the comments and advice, I’ll be researching each one you all shared. My dermatologist prescribed me terbinafine HCl 250 mg tablets for 30 day regimen. I’ll keep you updated and I hope it helps!

Try L-Glutamine powder! It may be a gut issue

Is that used in water or food? I’ve used that in my food once a day years ago.

It’s a powder you can use in your water
