Hello,

The rash you describe seems like seborrhoic dermatitis. You may use local antifungal cream like miconazole twice a day for 1-2 weeks to help with it.

If this is not helpful enough then steroid cream can be applied. In this case you will need to see your doctor first to confirm the diagnosis and take a steroid cream that is suitable for the face because generally we should not use steroids on the face unless it is sure we need it and visit with the doctor will confirm this.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
