Posted on Fri, 9 Dec 2016

Question: I have these red blotched on my face in both cheek areas that have become more pronounced and when I use a over the counter steroid cream in the morning, they get somewhat better but reappear later in the day. Never had skin issues before and now at age 61 it just started happening.
