Hi
Been plagued with rosacea since 1989. I am no expert but if I am not
mistaken, Elocon is a steroid which is not the best for rosacea. To me, it
seems as if you are experiencing withdrawal from the Elocon.
You may need to wean yourself off. It seems that I remember something about
either reducing its use and using something milder ( like a hydrocortisone )
until your skin can handle one of the topicals for rosacea.

I am sure that you'll get help with this one.
All the best
We're here for you. I don't know what I would have done without the support
of all the wonderful caring folks at this group.
Linda
