What Causes A Red Rash With Itching On The Face?

Rule out Psoriasis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the query at healthcare magic
I have gone through your question and I understand your concern
Red rash with itching on face can be due to several conditions like allergy, eczema ,fungal infection, psoroasis etc.In your case since you had relief with a mild corticosteroid cream (desonide) and return of symptoms on stopping the medication, I strongly encourage the possibility of psoriasis which require treatment with more potent corticosteroid cream.
Some individuals develop skin rash in response to treatment for pneumonia.But usually this rash goes away once the treatment is completed.
I recommend that you contact your doctor to discuss these possibilities and appropriate management.
Hope I was able to answer your question
Please feel free to address any more concerns
Regards
Dr.Lekshmi
