Hi,

You have given short history,so difficult to come to conclusion. You have papuar eruptions on face particularly on forehead. And the lesions are very itchy. I think you may be having either allergic contact dermatitis or prurigo simplex. There may be some cause like insects,dust,pollutants,pollens,perfume,soap, shampoo, cosmetics or some other. Sunrays,Stress,anxiety and tension may exacerbate. Take a short course of steroid in tappering dose. Take antihistaminics like levocetirizine. Apply mid steroid cream or tacrolimus oint. Avoid contact with suspected triggers. I think you may be alright. Still,you consult dermatologist. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
