In the meantime maybe give fresh lemon a try on a small spot to see if it can be helpful for you :)

was it a steroid, they usually work great but not good in the long term, i put myself through steroid withdrawl last year, a very flakey experience, took months for my face to sort out,they stop the adrenal glands doing their job, you stop them, skin can come back worse but steroids are not good for your inners, some say they can cause cancers etc?good to know these things,yes try a lemon as Michelle has said, its natural :)

So sad when it spirals like that... it soon gets out of hand. It's great you've got your appointment set to see what your options are. Maybe there will be one that suits you very well! Try not to worry if you can about how your skin is looking. Hopefully it is temporary until you are under control again...

I hear so my much about using lemons but worried about any burning or making it worse, what exactly do you do??

Hello Debbie, cut a slice, sqeeze and rub it in, it may start to itch and feel a little sore that will subside after a little while, ,dont put on sore patches unless you want to scream :)try an area thats okay and see how you go,i put childs farm moisturiser on the top of it if it burns or itches that helps :)
