General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Your symptoms indicate a severe seborrheic dermatitis.
I recommend :
-a dermatologist consult
-testing of the affected skin to check for yeast/fungus
-use cool compresses to relieve the itch & soreness.
-wash your face with soap and water everyday.
-avoid cosmetics that see to trigger or worsen symptoms.
-in certain individuals, exposure to sun will help control the fungal growth. Make sure to wear sunscreen.
-reduce stress and exercise regularly, preferably in fresh air.

Antifungals, sulfur based ointments can help treat these symptoms. Please see a dermatologist at the earliest.
Hope this helps and you feel better. Wish you good health.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with
I find this answer helpful
