What Causes Rash On My Face, Forehead And Eyebrows?
I have had this rash on my face, forehead, under my eyes and near my eyebrows for over 3 years now.. I have tried creams, steroid creams, anti antihistamines you name it I have tried it.. nothing works.. It went away for 8 months and now has returned red and flaky. That 8 month period was the only period it has went away.. now it really is effecting my life, confidence and everything..It's like slightly raised harder red skin?? .. any ideas or more information you require?

It would be hard to know its exact nature without having a look at it but I would keep a possibility of either Fungal Infection/Tinea Faciei Or Seborrheic dermatitis. Distinction between these is important because treatment is entirely different. A KOH preparation made from scale would be confirmatory of a fungal infection if it reveals fungal hyphae and need to be treated accordingly with a topical antifungal with or without an Oral antifungal. Otherwise, a red flaky rash of seborrheic dermatitis would respond to a topical moderately potent topical steroid e.g Fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate treatment.
