Hi, It may be personal dermatitis or demodicidosis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. After thorough examination and investigations, he might come to a perfect diagnosis, and accordingly he might give proper treatment. Avoid soap for washing the face. Avoid sun exposure which might exacerbate the rash. Apply metronidazole gel on the face. Antihistamines like cetirizine may be taken daily. Antibiotics and anti-mite tablets may be taken after consulting the dermatologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
