Suggest Remedy For Redness Around My Nose

Hi, I am very depressed because I try to reduce the redness around my noise and I get dry skin on my eyebrows and its just a little bit red on my forehead. I apply honey around my noise to reduce the appearance of the redness, but it doesn t help as much. Is their anything I can use to make the redness reduce even more?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I very well understand your concern for redness around nose and dry skin on eyebrows.

After reading your query it appears to be related to Seborrheic dermatitis affecting your hairy areas as well as area around nose.

There is more tendency of flaking and scaling of skin in such cases where typically there is redness and flaking around the nose is present.

In such cases I prefer to suggest an anti-fungal shampoo such as ketoconazole on scalp. For redness a mild steroid cream such as desonide can be used for 7 days and then shifted by an anti-fungal cream such as ketoconazole cream as maintenance therapy.

All the best.
