What Could Be The Itchy Rash On The Nostril?

Hi, My daughter has a litttle rash beside her left nostril, and not matter what we put on it topically it will not go away completely. If she doesn't use anything, it flares up. She has had this rash for over a year now, and no other syptoms besides a little itching. No dryness.Any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern.As per your query your child have symptoms of itchy rashes which can occur due to bodies response to the trigger factor. The most important thing is to find the trigger factor.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give cold compresses to rash several times a day to prevent from itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. If symptoms still persist then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may perform skin test to find out the trigger factor. Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream ( mometasone) , anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
