Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note of your query and I have also reviewed the Images. They are all of face.
I can see a dull erythema on forehead (glabella and eyebrow region) and centrofacial region i.e nose and malar area.
I suggest a possibility of either Seborrheic dermatitis Or Rosacea.
Seborrheic dermatitis usually presents as dry, flaky erythema on sides of nose, nasolabial folds, cheeks, and forehead.
Seborrheic dermatitis may be itchy scaly and there may be bumps. Other areas like chest, back may also be involved with erythema and bumps. There may be associated dandruff and itching of scalp.
Rosacea too presents with centrofacial erythema and easy flushing/ blushing. It is more common in fair skinned. There may also be bumps resembling acne.
Your Images seem to suggest that it is more likely seborrheic dermatitis.
I suggest that you use a sunscreen, regularly, throughout the day.
In addition I was the treating doctor I would suggest that you also use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily at affected sites for a period of 7- 10 days.
I suggest that you also get a confirmatory diagnosis by your dermatologist.
