Can Rashes On The Forehead And Other Body Parts Develop Because Of Infection?

I have a red rash and bumps that have come up on my forehead, back of head and in other parts of my body. Can this be caused due to a reaction to something? I don t know of anything that I did to cause this. My doctor put me on steroids. Not sure what caused this. Thank you for your answer.

Hello,

The symptoms see to be related to an allergic reaction.

The allergen can be related to food, detergents, soaps etc.

I recommend continuing using steroids given by your doctor.

I also recommend using steroid cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
