Rash between eyebrows

[dav17]

hi, i have developed an itchy rash between my eyebrows and have been searching a diagnosis as well as a cure. I've come across a site called Fengshui that diagnosis it as "liver imbalance"... They recommend cutting out/reducing animal fats, spicy foods, alcohol, eggs, diary products and eating 2 hours before bed time. All this i am guilty of over-endulging in, are/where you guys?
They then recommend increasing: Strong vegatables e.g. kale, broccoli, watercress, spring onion; salads and chewing very slowly,Try to get up close to sunrise as this is the time of day that supports the liver, Take time to be in real greenery - in parks, on lawns, or in woods - as this quality of energy supports the liver
Try to develop patience. This could involve taking up yoga, Tai Chi or meditationall which i don't do enough of.
Any comment?

Hi,

Having a good balanced diet is highly recommended. The rash on your face may be due  to dermatitis wherein groups of itchy or tender small red papules appear around the eyes or sometimes around the mouth, nose or chin.

Discontinue applying all face creams including topical steroids, cosmetics and sunscreens in the face. Wash the face with warm water alone while the rash is present. If it persists, it would be best to have this evaluated further by a dermatologist for proper management. A course of oral antibiotics for six to twelve weeks may be prescribed.

Take care and keep us posted.

I saw those remedies and diagnosis with other members thanks. Just for your information i have inreased my egg intake in the last 3 months but increased exercise as well. I have seen that some people say egg is bad for the liver and some say it cleans the liver??? i have noticed that drinking alcohol definitly makes it worse... I do not use any cleansers or soaps ( i don't suffer from pimples anymore) because they make it worse as well. The only moistoriser I use is pure vitimain E which does help. Last week I swam alot in pool full of HTH which actually seemed to help it cleared up!!! My gut feel is its a sign of my liver taking strain, i do drink alot, even for a 21 year old- about 10 tots a week but i drink alot of water...
I would like to highlight a few more things:
it started between the eyebrows.
-I am undergowing more stress than ever, I have started my career in Financial Planning and started an IT company!!!
-As a baby i was born with thrush!
-between the ages of 1-5 i suffered from sever Asthma, which as absolutley no effect on me currently (someone asked if everyone suffered from asthma as well)
-I smoke
-I was obese growing up approx 100kg but now i weigh 70kg-75kg due to "Body for Life" from EAS.I was using alot of supplements during the program including Creatine.
-I suffer from dandruff I have been using "Head & Shoulders" for the last 5 years or so to treat dandruff. After some research i have discovered what an EVIL product it is lol. It contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, without research i recall what a dehydrating agent Sodium is...plus these compounds are carsinagenic(cancer-causing) **spelling**. Before the rash started i started applying H&S to my eyebrows because i noticed slight dandruff.
TRIAL & ERROR:
-I will lay off the egg for awhile.
-I'm going increase Folic Acid, Vitimain A, in a nutshell all my greens.
-I'm going to cut out animal fats.
-definitly discontinue Head & Shoulders. I have come across but haven't tried Ketomousse (Italian product). Maybe even take H&S to court :-)they should warn you about those compounds...
-Lay off the booze :-(  
WILL KEEP YOU UP TO DATE
