Suggest Medication For A Face Disease

Hello. I was having some face disease and a doctor suggested me to use Teno ate G (now it comes in market with Tenovate GN name). After used it I feel some improvement but when I stop to using it, I was feeling that my skin is unstable, very irritating and looks ugly. So again I started it and get some improvement and continue it for 2-3 years. But I realized that my skin is addicted of something so again I went to doctor and he told me to stop using it and suggested me to use some new tubes. I uesd accordingly and feel improvement than after inspecting my skin condition he told me to discontinue the treatment but after 4-5 day again I feel unstability and irritating stress and it looks very ugly. Than again I went to a new doctor and he suggested me to used some more tubes and tablets but the main problem us still present and there is no relief for me. Means I feel improvement when I using these tubes and after stopping the same problem again started. It 6-7 years to go and my main problem us still unheal. I have wasted a lot of money and time. Please advised me.

Hi,

You used tenovate G cream on face for long time. But, for what purpose you used, that is not mentioned. How your doc can prescribe such strong steroid for face, is unbelievable. It is not recommened for facial lesions,even if steroid is indicated in some conditions on face. I strongly advise to stope it immediately, otherwise atrophy,depigmentation,telangiectasia ..etc may follow on your face. You apply vitamin E containing cream on your face till you feel betterness. If there is some skin lesions on face, you consult expert dermatologist for perfect treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
