For the past 6 months I have been getting really bad skin rash on my face, it comes out every couple of weeks and is so red and sore, feels like it is burning. Have tried everything on it but everything makes it worse, then the redness dies down after a couple of days and then goes crusty and flaky . Don't know if it's even diabetes related but it's driving me insane, it's that bad sometimes I feel like I can't even leave the house because it looks so bad.
 
Hello,
Could it be Roscea? I get that sometimes, it's autoimmune too. Give it a google
 
I did think that actually, last time I went to the doctor they have me a cream and it didn't work so will go to the doctor again, thanks for the advice
 
If it is that, unfortunately there's not much to do. Except try to find out what sets it off.

The only thing that soothes mine and makes it disappear is Elecon (a steroid cream) which I buy in Turkey. The GPs in England say don't use it on ur face, but they have done nothing to help me with it. The Turkish pharmacist said it's ok for flare ups. Also bought it in Greece. Good excuse for a holiday
