Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rash Around Eyes And Cheeks

I have a rash around my eyes and on my cheeks in a unusual pattern that i am not sure what it is. It hasn t responded to anti fungal cream or mupirocin. I am unsure what to do, but using a steroid cream does seem to suppress it for the time being. At this point in time it has become itchy and pretty embarrassing. Please help.

welcome to HCM.
Applying anti fungal,mupirocin or specially steroid by yourself is not good.
A rash over cheeks may be a simple light reaction to a serious lupus disease.so,stop those & record your problems in a sheet of paper.
But don't worry you just need to be checked by a good dermatologist & few investigation may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.you apply suncross aquagel at 8am & at 12pm.Take tab dazit 10mg one at evening.good luck.
