Reddish/purplely rash on the face?

Hi all,

My boyfriend has 2 injections to go out of 24, he seems to have got a rash on his face.  In the past and through treatment he has gotten exzema, however this seems to be darker in coloour.  He is using cortisone but it doesn't seem to be clearing it up.  Anyone had this expereince ? or any suggestions.......thanks in advance

jmjm530 who used to post frequently either developed Rosacea during or shortly after treatment.  You may want to consult with a Dermatologist as there are medications which can help.

I would not use cortisone on my face unless a doctor specifically told me to and then I would still wonder if I should....especially if no improvement is immediately seen from it.  Check with a dermatologist.
