Hi , i have large red and sometimes dry patches round both my eyes so it looks like i have a mask on .. my doctor says its a fungal eczema yet the steroid creams hes tried me with only cleared it for a week or so not months like he suggested .. is there something else this could be?
Hi;welcome to Chat Doctor From what you say it responded to antifungal confirms it to be a fungal infection;but since it reverts there should be either some bacterial infection along with fungal or the locally applied antifungal is not potent enough, and you may need to take antifungal orally also along with local application. Better idea is to consult a Dermatologist he will see & prescribe you with the necessary medicines antifungal and/or antibacterial what ever is required to treat your infection. So consult ASAP. Take care. Thanks
