A member asked:

I have had red, very dry skin on one side of my face and forehead for a year. i have a derm appt in a month but can i use desonide cream until then?

Facial redness: It is not usual to have one-sided facial redness and dryness for a solid year. If you haven't been using desonide daily for the last year, then you should have no trouble using it while waiting for your appt.

No: Since you already have an appointment in place then it is advisable to keep that appointment except if the desonide cream was prescribed for the condition. A hypoallergenic facial moisturizer should do till you see the Dermatologist.
