A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroid Rosacea: Steroid induced rosacea can be caused by the prolonged used of a topical steroid on the face. Topical steroid comes in 7 different strengths (some countries use 4 categories). Class i is superpotent, and class vii is very weak. Usually, any categories of steroids can induce rosacea with prolonged use.
