Don't discontinue right away. Do it slowly. There are documented
cases of steroid nose spray causing full blown centrofacial steroid
rosacea. It is absorbed into the nasal mucosa blood vessels and
distributed throughout the central facial area via collateral
perfusion. Talk to your doctor about this please.
