Hi, I was prescribed some ketoconazole and told to use it on my face. I used it nearly daily for over a year until another doctor said it was harmful. I stopped using it about 4 months ago. Each month my face goes through painful withdrawals. This includes large sections becoming red, itchy and burning. Ultimately it phases out and flakes away. Yet it returns a week or two later. What can I take or do to prevent this from occurring? Is there any topical ointment that I can use to alleviate the pain or reduce the redness? I do not use any soaps or creams on any of my face currently, just regular tap water. Thanks for your time.
