Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash, antihistaminic and cortisone cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and can appreciate some redness on the face.
It seems to be eczematous rash on the face.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a moisturising cream on the entire face 2-3 times in a day.
For itching take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
