Small, Red Bumps Between Upper Nose And Eye, On Side Of Forehead. No Help From Desoximetasone. Have Eczema. Help
I have ezema so it seems like somethings always wrong with my skin. A couple of days ago i had a couple of small bumps between my upper nose and eye. I put some desoximetasone on it because i was prescribed that when something similair appeared before (ended up being an infection, some form of herpes) well over the last couple of days it just keeps getting worse and now i have about 20 small red bumps on one side of my forehead

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
From your description, I suspect that you might be suffering from Herpes zoster infection.
Eczema cannot be localised to one particular part of body.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Probably you need treatment with antivirals.
Steroids what you are using now may worsen your condition.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
