Hello
Welcome!
I would be pleased to answer your question .
You have got the noted side effect of the cream which is causing the redness itching and dry flaky skin .
You will need to apply a Vitamin C based serum daily at night and a sunscreen in the morning .
That will help in getting you a uniform skin tone .
Please do book an appointment with the Dermatologist .
Thanks and Take care

Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
It can be polymorphic light eruption or rosacea.
You can apply calamine lotion over the area.Also clindamycin cream over the face can be a good idea.
Use a good quality moisturizer with shea butter.Stop rozex cream it is meant for rosacea.Avoid hot and spicy food and beverages.
Take a lot of lemon juice daily.Also you can take vitamin C tablets daily.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
