I do use Vaseline with hydrocortisone and it helps. I have also started to use my own moisturizers but they create a redder face. I do not know about your blotches but mine are fading slowly. As I said its a waiting game, do not despair from all I have read they do eventually fade. Samra Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT
