I was given an ivermectin cream called soolantra from dermo. It didn’t go completely but made a huge improvement.

I also use factor 50 face cream from boots no7 every day not just when I go out. Part of my routine now.

Is that a sun cream or more lime a moisturiser Im also looking for a day cream I can put on everyday just so my face doesn’t look all blotchy x

It’s a face cream rather than sun cream. White tube with a yellow lid! Around 15 pounds but often in 3 for 2 offers. I find it more comfortable on my face rather than factor 50 sun creams

I was given a steroid called elocon by my dermatologist which worked. I use garnier anti age super uv factor 50 on my face it is sunprotection but also a moisturiser.

Is this the one ?If it protects me from the sun as well as hides the redness and blotchiness that’s perfect

This one ? I just had the redness on my face it’s getting worse and I’ve been told I might not be able to see a dermatologist until next year with the waiting list being so kind

Sun cream

I also use Soolantra 1% cream on my face up to twice daily, but usually just once. It has almost completely cleared the rash/redness across my face that has plagued me for a long time! I found a sunscreen this summer that I absolutely love! It is SPF 100 and I use it on face and body. I have super sensitive skin and have no problem with this. Also it doesn’t leave me looking like a mime like the zinc oxide types did. I am in the US and I get it on Amazon. I use the sunscreen daily even if I won’t be out in the sun much. I find that my skin reacts to lights in grocery too, so this protects me from that as well.

100 SPF sunscreen

I find Altruist face fluid spf 50 very good. Use their whole range. Can be bought on Amazon or via their website. Have found it as good as la Roche posay and very reasonably priced too.

Good morning!

I’ve dealt with a similar butterfly rash before, and I completely understand how frustrating and challenging it can be. In my case, I found great relief using Stromectol (ivermectin). I ordered it from this pharmacy - world-delivery-service.com/..., received my order quickly, and the medication was of excellent quality.The medication worked by targeting the underlying inflammation and any potential skin-related parasites or triggers. Within a week, I noticed a significant reduction in the redness and irritation, and the rash began to fade. To complement the treatment, I continued using high-SPF sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding peak sun hours.

It’s essential to consult your doctor before trying anything new, as they can ensure it’s suitable for your specific condition. I hope this helps, and I wish you relief soon! 💕
