suggestion needed: flushing all the time

March 4, 2002

I do hope some one there can give me a hint:

I did not have skin problem till last october, I stopped using HQRA Cream to

get rid of my freckles ( It contains steroid). My face at that time seemed

to be recovery very soon. However, since Feb, my left cheek started to feel

flushing, at first I can ignore it, now it just became more serious. My left

cheek now is much more red than my right one, and warmer too.

My guess was it was caused by steroid with other irritant skin product I

used in the past months, I went to see several derms, but nobody can gave me

an answer. One derm asked me to put myself on a strict diet, but I never

flush before because of food unless it was ridiculous spicy, and now my left

cheek flushing all the time no matter what I do.

I felt pretty miserable now since I did not know what I can expect tomorrow.

Seemed nothing I can do. I take Ester C, grape seed extract,total EPA, and

even aspirin. And drank lots of cold water which made me completely lost

appetize. I used to like eating very hot food, I always microwave my food to

the boiling point. And now I eat it directly from refregirator. I lost

several pounds in two weeks. I am not a fat person at the starting point, I

only weight 90LBS as an adult woman. I had no desire to lose weight.

So my question was is there anybody here had flushing all the time before

caused by skin product or steroid or whatever, and eventually gets better by

itself, or do something very clever?

If you like to share your experience, I will be very appreciated.

Jane
