What Causes Rash On Upper Lip, Chin And Nose?
I have what looks like a rash on my upper lip, chin and nose that started as a small spot and now looks like, what I can only describe, as though I have waxed. I have never waxed. I has have over active and uncontrollable flushing in my cheeks. I have been treated for rosacea but I have either had an allergic reaction to all 6 types of medication and/or they have not worked. Any ideas of what else it could possible be?

This rash sounds like you may have impetigo. Impetigo is a red rash with a honey like discharge that usually starts from the nose and then covers the upper lips. This is highly contagious and needs to be treated with antibiotics. I recommend you seek medical attention to get proper treatment to resolve the infection and reduce risk of transmission to others
