Please help poor 'ol me =(

Okay, well some time ago I had a rash (I forget what caused it) so I decided to use hydrocortisone cream (wish I wouldn't have) to help with the itching/curing. Obviously I ended up using too much and now the skin right below my mouth is thinned out and looks like really fine lines. The worst part is when I tend to smile, laugh, talk and all that the thin/fine lines turn that part of my chin red. It's very depressing. I've posted about this before but I've yet to come up with an answer. Does anyone know of a moisturizer that would help or just anything? I'd rather not goto a derm if I don't have too.

Thanks alot everyone.

If it is still tender use a mild cleanser. You must moisturize and you MUST use a sunblock (yes, even during winter) during the day. Use something with 30 and above SPF and something that says non-comedogenic and for sensitive skin. I suggest in the begining you use aquaphor (eucerin) in that area. It will be greasy but you can use it at night. It will really HEAL your skin. Give it a try for a week. Good Luck!
