Hi, I have had an unknown skin condition affecting my face for nearly two months now. I have some hive-like red spots on my cheeks, above my eyebrows, and under my nose. The bridge of my nose is also very dark red.

After waiting a month to get into see my dermatologist, he prescribed a low dose of prednisone which seemed like it was helping but the redness never quite went away and appears that it is the same as before I started taking the prednisone, which was for only six days. I also have had a facial lupus blood test which came back as negative.

I have another appointment scheduled another month from now but I can't deal with having this issue right on my face and not knowing how to treat it or what the problem is. I have not started using any new skin products or medications. It does not hurt or itch. Any suggestions on what it may be so I can further my research?

Thanks for your help.
