How To Get Rid Of Red And Itchy Rash Under The Nose?

for the last two months i have had a really random rash appear under my nose around my nostrils, it gets really crusty after an hour or so, and then it goes more red and itchy. i have tried creams and it doesnt seem to do anything at all, is there any reason why i may have gotten this? or a way i can get rid of it? Im a 15 year old girl by the way, and therefore im not too sure what causes it. Thanks -Bianca

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear Bianca,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to contact dermatitis or any fungal infection.

Application of ointment like Lobate GM (pharmacologically Clobetasol + Miconazole + Neomycin) will reduce the symptoms.
1. Clobetasol being a steroid will reduce the inflammatory process
2. Miconazole being an anti-fungal agent will take care of any fungus causing the symptoms
3. Neomycin being an anti-bacterial agent will prevent secondary bacterial infections.

You can also take antihistamine preparation like Cetrizine or Allegra for symptomatic relief.
In addition, keep the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
