What to do if acne-like pustules have appeared after Elocom ointment?
Does anyone have a similar problem? For 3 weeks I used Elocom ointment on my face, around my mouth. I've stopped using the ointment, but I don't know how to fight these changes now

The observed symptoms are the so-called steroid-induced acne. It is most often a side effect of long-term steroid therapy. 3 weeks is a very long period of using steroid ointment, especially on the face.
In this situation, it is important to stop using Elocom ointment and consult a dermatologist. If it is not possible to visit the site, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
