So I just thought I would update this post and share my latest experience in case anyone else finds this happening to themselves
regarding the patches on my face...well after many painful days rubbing one cream on after another with no change in fact the area was getting worse. More rawness, burning etc I went back to my Derm. who took a closer look
turns out it is not P on my face! It's a condition called Perioral Dermatitis
Most likely brought about because of the use of all the topical steroids
I was given a different med. and I am thrilled to say that only after a few short days the rash is near gone.
I am still steam rolling on with cosentyx. Especially now that I may only be able to use topicals extremely sparingly
