Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be seborrheic dermatitis, eczema or rosacea as the dermatologist has diagnosed. My sincere advice is to take a second opinion from a dermatologist and get an examination done to confirm the diagnosis. A skin biopsy may also be needed.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
