I have been using tropical steroid cream on my face for 4 years, but now my face skin is getting red and swelling. If I tried to stop using those tropical steroid creams, my face skin would start getting more pimples or popup small small blisters. I want to know the treatment of the given problems.

prolonged use of topical steroids has such type of effects. stop using such ointments. Start homeopathic treatment which has permanent solution for such type of eruption. Clean your face properly and drink plenty of water. Do not scratch the face otherwise it will lead to permanent scarring.
