Is A Faint Mark On My Forehead That Looks Suspicious A Medical Concern?
Question: Hi, I have noticed a mark on my forehead. I think it may have been there a while. Its quite feint. Just under a centimetre in diameter. Does it look serious. Do you know what it could be? I am 39 years old. Non smoker. Thanks
Brief Answer:
It may be dermatitis. Doesn't seem serious
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As per attachment image, I think it may be dermatitis and doesn't seem serious. For that I would suggest you to apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. In Case of itching you can take tablet Loratadine. Along with that avoid Harsh soap. Avoid direct exposure to Sun. Apply sunscreen lotion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam Kale
