Has anyone heard of getting steroid induced rosacea and flushing due to an inhaled steroid? I know it can happen with topical steroids. Reason I ask is because this is my doctor's latest theory as to why I am flushing and getting permanent redness on my face. I have been on Pulmicort for four months, and began developing redness/ flushing after one month on the medication. Would love to hear what others have experienced or heard. Thanks!

Yes this has been mentioned before a couple of times:

Isnt there a particular technique that should be used?
