  5. I've been worried about a skin issue that started after I used MemopiHC cream on my entire face instead of just the affected area. It's been around 8 months now, but I'm still dealing with redness around my nose. I used the cream for about 15 days, and ever since, I've noticed this redness. Can you give me some advice on how to help my skin recover from this?

I recommend using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream twice a day on the affected area to help soothe and hydrate the skin. In addition, you can apply a thin layer of a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream once a day to reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to avoid using any harsh products on your face and protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. If the redness persists or worsens, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
