Some type of sore on my face.

Some type of sore on my face.

Okay a few weeks ago I notice a rough patch of skin around my sideburns then as time went on it started to itch. So as I scratched it got worst and some type of liquid came out of it. I dont know if a picture will help but, here you go. If you dont want to see what am talking about DO NOT click the link. http://i12.tinypic.com/61n9c12.jpg I wear glasses also so could my glasses be rubbing against my skin to cause that? What is the best way to treat it? Thanks a lot!

do you have dry skin along your eyebrows, nose creases or hairline as well?

you may want to google seborrheic dermatitis or seborrhea.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition affecting millions of Americans. It shows up as flaking skin, or reddish patches. Unlike people with dry skin, the skin in people with seborrheic dermatitis is usually oily. It can be unsightly, itchy and, since it is often on the face, may cause embarrassment. It is not contagious. Scales form on reddened skin.

In adults seborrheic dermatitis usually affects the scalp, eyebrows, ear canals, sides of the nose, and behind the ears. It sometimes affects the armpits, chest and in the groin area. Most people with it complain of dandruff, especially on the back and sides of the scalp (bad dandruff bad dandruff is usually seborrheic dermatitis).
