Suggest Remedy For Inflammation Of Skin On The Nose

I have an issue with the area of and around the nose. about 2 months ago, the skin on my nose started to become irritated & skin peeled off. About the time it would heal, the whole peeling process will start over again & again. I visited a local doctor who prescribed 1% chormotrizine cream. This did nothing towards healing this problem. My eyes are swollen & the skin on my nose, & around my nose is a bright red [inflamed] I have tried triple antibiotic cream, Neosporin & Equate antibacterial cream with no relief. Any help would be appreciated. David Smith

Hi,

Does your cream contain a steroid? Creams containing steroids, if applied for longer period (more than 3 weeks) can damage the skin. So, please stop any over the counter cream. Other causes are bacterial or viral infection or an allergic reaction.

I recommend you to visit your Dermatologist to arrive at a proper diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian
