I've just used erythego gel for the first time, as my doctor recommended. Initially, it seemed to work because the redness disappeared for a few hours. But after I washed my face, my cheeks started burning and turned red again. Can you tell me what's going on? How often should I be using this gel? I'd really appreciate some advice!
