Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Onabet B is a cream with an anti fungal- mild steroid combination. It works against fungi by inhibiting its growth and also has an anti-inflammatory action. It is usually given for fungal infections with a component of inflammation and intertrigo. The rash on your face could have been due to rosacea, contact dermatitis , sunburn and photo allergy. If you are having dryness with Onabet B cream, please get back to your dermatologist who may revise the diagnosis and prescribe an alternative medication.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
