How Can A Burnt Patch Of Skin On The Face Be Treated?
My face, on my right side, looks like it s been burned...I went to my normal Dr about 3 months ago with a patch on my face, and he said it looked like I had burned myself, which I know I did not do. He gave me some topical cream, but it still keeps coming back about once a month. It gets red, then it becomes where I can peel the skin off...Any advice on what it may actually be?

Hello,
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
