Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.thank you for using healthcare magic
Diprosone is a steroid cream.It is NOT supposed to be used on the face especially for fungal infection.
My recommendation for you would be to stop self medicating.If it is indeed a fungal infection then you need to apply an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole cream for it.
Best would be to fix an appointment with the nearest dermatologist and let him or her make an accurate diagnosis and give treatment.
Hope this was helpful.
