Suggest Treatment For Red Marks On Face

This red mark just appeared over the course of a couple days on my face. I don t believe it is acne. It looks like irritated skin but it s not going away with the acne and scar creams I ve been applying. I m trying to figure out what it is and how to get rid of it

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

As per your case history of red mark on face, my treatment advice is:

1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with SPF more than 30.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Other treatment options are Topical hydroquinone, and Steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
