Thank you Dr for your observations. What I am told by Dr treating me, it is  Erysipelas , a kind of bectarial infection. I researched net and found it is treatable. But I have heard allergies are best treated by Homeopathy than Allopathic. Do you have any comments please. Warm Regards.

Hello,
Apart from allergies and contact dermatitis, other possibilities are of eczema and psoriasis skin. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin. To confirm the diagnosis, you should get a biopsy skin done. This will rule out eczema or psoriasis and confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hi,

Have you changed any product you may be using on your hair or face?  When you mention head, what comes to thought is hair product or hair dye or formulas to blend-in grey hair, etc.  Just some thoughts as I read thru your post.

Keep us posted - many many stop by with some other ideas and WELCOME~
