Suggest Remedy For Mark On Face Possibly Caused By Fungal Infection
I have a line or it seems to be a tunnel on my face, that seems to be a fungal infection. I looked up ring worm, but this is not circular. It is in a line. It s red a used to itch but I have been using some anti-fungal liquid. I m not sure if its helping or not. But I am wondering what this actually is? I can t seem to find any pictures of fungus or worm infections that are in a line like this is. Thanks.
As per your query you have symptoms of mark on face possibly caused by fungal infection, well yes it could be Tinea corporis which is a fungal infection. Another cause could be skin reaction due to hormonal change during puberty , androgen hormones stimulate more sebum to be produced and a greater amount of skin cells to proliferate. I would suggest you to exfoliate gently once or twice a day with a salicylic acid-based exfoliant. You should apply miconazole ointment for local application. You should take fluconazole tablet for oral intake. Wash your face using a mild soap or cleanser and lukewarm water. If condition doesn't improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics like clindamycin , Isotretinoin or Hormone Therapy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
