have these little red rashes that come up on my cheeks near my nose , in front of my ears and behind my ears , chin between my eyes, when it flares up its real red and dry, sensitive and the rashes always come up in the same spot, my doctor always wants to give me hydrocortisone, which doesnt help, I have used elidel on it and it helps sometimes, any ideas?
Hi, The red rash occurring on the face off and on may be inflammatory acne or rosacea. For firm diagnosis, you consult dermatologist. Stress, anxiety, tension, excessive sun exposure, exercise, travelling, oily food might trigger the disease. Antibiotic like azithromycin or minocycline for long time would give good result in both cases. Clindamycin gel application at night would improve inflammatory acne. And metronidazole gel on rosacea might improve cleanse the face with antiseptic liq like detail. After long treatment you might be benefitted. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.
