Itchy Skin, Fungus And Dark Pigmentation On Forehead, Nose, Runny Nose. Used Ointments. What Will Heal?
good day Sir. I have a dark colored itchy skin fungus on my forehead and tip of my nose. Before I get the urge to scratch on my nose, I get the feeling that water is slowly running on my nose. I see a lot of people get something like this on their cheeks. I have tried many creams and ointments but did not help. I went to a skin Dr. and this did not help either. Can you help me please. Thank you and have a nice day. Soni

Hi,
It seems that you are having ringworm infection on face.
It is also known as tinea facial.
Itching may or may not be there.
Anti fungal tablets may be given.
Antifungal cream like miconazole may be applied.
Avoid soap bath., dettol liquid may be used for bath.
Keep the face dry.
Dermatologist may be consulted.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
