Hi Laura!
I have had luck with fluocinonide 0.05% cream for the red rashes on my body. I use it when my skin starts feeling raw, about every 3 to 4 weeks. For my face I have not had a lot of luck. I have used desonide cream, but it didn't really help, plus it can cause premature wrinkles and thin your skin, and I don't want any part of that! I have also used Verdeso foam for my face, and it did absolutely nothing for me. But they may work well for you. I did just get some Bare Minerals powder that has real gold in it. I read that some autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, are treated with a gold derived medication called aurolate. It's supposed to reduce inflammation. So when I saw this gold Bare Minerals powder I thought I would try it, maybe it would help with the redness of my face. I have only used it three times, and my face still has the typical heliotrope rash, no change at all. The color of my face ranges from a pale reddish purple to a bright tomato red, which I'm sure your familiar with. I have had it since May 2008, and it just won't go away. It has gotten better, but it's stubborn.
My dermatologist said Eucerin, Cetophil or Aquafor moisturizer lotion is ok to use for moisturization. I have more problems with the color of the rash than the dry skin. My skin does get dry, and it will peel probably once a month, but is has the various shades of red all the time.
Let us know if you do find anything that works for you! Good luck!
