Facial rash
by Chinito, Jul 01, 2006 12:00AM
I have had a rash on my face for about a month. It started on my cheek near my nose and runs down to my mustache. Right now is mainly concentrated on the right side of my face. It is red and itchy. I do suffer from skin dryness around my nose and my skin specialist prescribed elidel which helps temporarely but it has no effect on my new skin rash on my cheek.

I suggest you try over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone twice a day for a week, and that you be sure not to rub or scratch the rash. If that doesn't clear it up, you'll need to see a doctor in person for diagnosis and treatment.
Take care.
