Dry And Itchy Skin On Forehead, Eyes And Nose, Redness And Blotchy. Used Moisturiser And Betnovate. Is It Eczema?

Hi. I have really dry itchy skin on my forehead, round my eyes, nose and mouth. My skin on my face is all red and blotchy too. I use exfoliation face scrub on my face everyday, but apply moisturiser afterwards and its still there! I'm wondering if Betnovate Cream (prescribed by my doctor for my eczema) will work if applied on my face? Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

It might be a mild allergic reaction.

Steroids are helpful but betnovate will cause you more harm than benefit.

You should apply some mild steroid.

Please meet a dermatologist.
