Guest guest Posted February 28, 2000 Report Share Posted February 28, 2000 Hi all, I've controlled my bumps with A/R Cream, and I love it. But, I still have a serious problem that I don't see mentioned much. The apples of my cheeks are purple and fluid-filled. Sometimes the fluid will recede, like after exercising and it looks better for a while. But, it never goes away completely, and will swell up again when I'm exposed to artificial light. I try to be careful about the light and to protect myself, but it's impossible to be completely free from it. All summer I stayed away from artificial light pretty much, and my skin felt better (no burning). But, the purple cheeks remained, and the fluid returned once I started being exposed to artificial light again. I believe this was originally caused by the cortisone cream my derm put me on. I got off of it when I realized how bad it was for me, and I've been off of it for a year now. I had really hoped that things would improve more than they have by now. If anything, my cheeks are getting worse instead of better. Did anyone suffer from this and get better? Did anyone get better without phtoderm or antibiotics? I'd use those as a last resort only. Thanks. Susie Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2000 Report Share Posted February 28, 2000 I use to suffer from this in the winter especially but between the A/R cream, the supplements I've been taking and the use of a mild sunscreen, I did not have this at all this winter. le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
