Spot On Nose With A Ring Around It, Fucicort Had No Change. Having Headaches On Left Side, Face Itchy. What Is This ?
Hi. I have a spot on my nose with a ring around it from February. Doctor told me to apply fucicort. No change.
Went to a dermatologist last month and was told that she could not tell what it is however there was a rash that was on my nose. Went to a plastic surgeon who is planning to do a biopsy if the spot remains. Today I noticed that the "rash" has spread above my nose to between my eyes. My face is itchy so I applied some rubbing alcohol using cotton and took a half of a histal tablet.
Also I have been having headaches on the left side of my head, a burning pain on my left side below my breast...makes me wonder if its my heart. The pain is not constant. I have been having it on and off for the past week or so. What could this be?
I'm going to visit an allergist tomorrow.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be rosacea,seborrheic dermatitis, tinea facie etc.
A skin biopsy may be needed for final diagnosis.
Till the time you can tab.cetirizine 1 daily and apply clotrimazole cream twice daily.
A visit to dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
