Hi Paddy - for small patches I put Lyonsleaf Calendula and Marshmallow Balm. Twice or more a day.
This is a gentle balm of natural ingredients so it takes a while to take small patches away - like several weeks sometimes - but it keeps them moisturised and no bad effects. And stops it getting worse.
I use it around my eyes, too, which I can hardly use anything on without getting a reaction. It’s soothing and healing for loads of skin sensitivities.
Not sure about if you want to zap facial patches away, though. Others will have more thorough ideas… I’ve been unsure about using my strong steroids there.
Good luck with it all 👍🏽
