Hey, so I've been having this issue where my skin gets all red and there's this burning feeling whenever I use Sofradex cream. Ive been using it for some skin problems, but these side effects are really uncomfortable. I'm 27 and just wondering if there's something else I can use that won't do this to my skin. Any ideas?

Stop the medication, u can use clopivate cream for local application for 7 days, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
