Suggest Medications For Rash

I woke up this morning with a red spot on my forehead above my eyes (right between my eye) but above on my forehead. It's about the size on the end of my finger. It's not an insect bite and I'm pretty sure not a rash. It have faded a little. Strange....it was very noticable first thing. Thank you. LIsa

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, Lisa
Rash over body in any part or whole of body may be due to either a systemic disease or due to local cause (i.e cellulitis impetigo ) .
In your case as you are not sure whether it is rash or not , so very difficult to estimate , what is it?
May be due to .
1 Fever .
2 Worm infestation
3 Tropical eiosinophilia
4 Urticaria .
Please get in blood for eiosinophils count ( if very high indicates eiosinophilia), stool examination for worm infestation.
Sometimes allergy may be responsible for such rashes ( allergic bronchitis is a most common cause of allergy ) .
In my opinion whenever this recurs consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important .
Good luck.
