Recurring Rash On Forehead, Tingling Sensation. Treatment?
Hi, Im a 32 year old male, and I have had a rash on my forehead, off and on, for about 9 months. When I break out it lasts 1-2 weeks, then subsides, but never completely goes away. When I'm about to break out, I get these sharp, tingling, stinging sensations in my forehead, then the skin breaks out in little vesicles. I'm not sure what this could be, I don't have insurance so I have to rely on the Veterans Affairs clinic but it takes forever to schedule an appointment to get to see someone, so I thought I'd try this website out.
