What Causes Itchy Sores On The Temple?

I have a scabby sore (sometimes it itches) at my temple. I went to a dermatologist and she said it s a wisdom mark and when I take a shower, it will fall off by itsself. I shower every day, but it s been there a couple months and doesn t even come loose or appear to be falling off.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It may be seborrhea.

As the first line of management, you can apply topical antifungal like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.

If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
