Hi threre,
Thanks for posting here.
Your concern is understandable.
You appear to have seborrheic dermatitis. This condition can be managed by using mild antifungals like ketoconazole cream or even mild steroids like hidrocortisone. But his condition is notorious to come back.
Use a good sunscreen daily, and mild cleansers for washing your face. If you have associated dandruff ketoconazole shampoos help.
Take care.Hope this helps you.
