Here Is The Photo Of The Patches On My Face
Question: here is the photo of the patches on my face
Brief Answer:
Regarding patch on the face
Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
I have reviewed the images.
It certainly doesn't seem like fungal. It is likely a localized dermatitis to topical products.
I suggest you use a slightly more potent steroid like either Triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream or Fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily.
However, these are prescription based medications although Hydrocortisone is an OTC mild steroid and therefore acts slowly and takes longer.
Take care
