Suggest Treatment For A Scaly Red Rash On The Face
I have had a sore on my face next to my mouth for 7 months. It started out like a pimple, then it grew out wards to where I could look down and see it... No mirror...! I messed with it and squeezed it and got a lot of blood and pus out. Now it is more flush with face, but it still fills up with blood and ous every day... Like 5 or more times a day. It is a scaly red rash and an open appearance in the middle... Ulcerated I d say. I went to hospital. They said it is fungas and there was nothing they could do for me! In the beginning, I had these things all overy face and head. This one that remains, is the first one I got. Help!!!
The rash could be most probably an acne vulgaris or seborrheic dermatitis. Treatment differs greatly for both the conditions. But other probable diagnoses are there too. The other diagnoses include folliculitis, topical steroid dependent face etc. I request you to visit your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Siva Subramanian,
