Can I Use Polysporin And Hydrocortisone For Rashes And Bumps On Face?

I have had a "rash" on my face that starts out like a red cluster of pimples that ooze a clear substance and eventually crust over and flake off. By time it "heals" enough to flake off it starts back up again. I have the spots on the ridge of my nose, by my mouth, and at the left side of the bridge of my nose. There is a "ridge" or "bump" where it affects my nose ridge between my eyebrows towards my left eye under the skin that feels bony. This has been going on for months and months and hydrocortisone cremes do not work, nor do antifungals or polysporin. I often get headaches on my left side that radiate from that spot. I have had numbeness and dull ache down my arms and in my shoulder blades. I have a lump on the base of my neck as well. I have severe endometriosis and undiagnosed fibromyalgia. Any ideas as to what this could be?

Hi,

Petechia like rash on trunk is not likely related to herpes progenitalis or its treatment, acyclovir.It may be something else. It may be relwted to blood diseases or other systemic diseases.So, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Also fonsult the physician to know any abnormal systemic condition. After thorough examination and investigations,your doctor might come to some conclusion.And accordingly you may be treated.

Hope this helps.
