See a dermatologist: Probably eczema. Prolonged use of cortisone on the face sometimes does things you won't like such as perioral dermatitis, cataracts, glaucoma. Occasional use is usually ok. Prescription calcineurin inhibitors are safer & more effective. These are Elidel (pimecrolimus) & protopic.
