Hi doctor,
I am a 40-year-old female, single, diabetic on Metformin; I started to have skin lesions on my face about a month ago, patches of raised, red, sore, scaling skin on my face; I had it before at my hairline, and near ear area, I would like to confirm this seborrheic dermatitis and what to do about it? Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. It is an allergic rash (atopic dermatitis). I suggest apply 1 % hydrocortisone cream or gel at night for seven days. Apply Nadibact cream (Nadifloxacin) or 1 % Clindamycin gel during the daytime for ten days. Wash face with gentle Cetaphil cleanser (Aqua, Glycerine, Panthenol, and Sodium benzoate) twice daily for 15 days. Take Tablet Antoxid HC (Beta-carotene, Copper, Manganese, Selenium, and Zinc Sulphate) once daily after breakfast for 30 days. Avoid scratching and rubbing of lesions. Regards.

Avoid direct sunlight. Use sun protection measures. Use photostable sunscreen daily from 9 AM to 3 PM for two months. I hope this helps. Kind regards.

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am already seeing results after only one day, less swelling, less redness, completely gone scales, and much less itching; how long can I see full results? And what shall I do after that?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Follow up after ten days. Complete the treatment. Regards.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
What do you recommend for dark circles around my eyes accompanying the other allergic lesions?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I suggest apply Kojic cream (Kojic acid, Lactokine fluid, Axeloglicina (Potassium azeloyl digylycinate-PAD), or Eukroma cream (Hydroquinone) at night for 21 days. Take Tablet Limcee 500 mg (Vitamin C and Ascorbic acid) once daily after breakfast for 30 days. Apply photostable sunscreen daily from 9 AM to 3 PM for two months. Take adequate sleep. Take proper nutrition. Drink seven to eight glasses of water daily. Avoid direct sunlight. Use sunglasses. Use hats and sun protection measures. Avoid scratching and rubbing. Regards.

Hi doctor,
I noticed after I stopped Hydrocortisone cream (I used it once at night for seven days) the lesions started to become swollen and red after a few days again; what shall I do about it? I am only using Cetaphil face wash and eczema moisturizer, no new acne lesions, but the same lesions of eczema I showed before just came back after stopping Hydrocortisone.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It is best to stop Hydrocortisone. I suggest take Tablet Doxycycline 100 mg once a day after food for 15 days. Avoid direct sunlight while on Doxycycline. Use photostable sunscreen daily from 9 A.M to 3 P.M for two months. Apply Acnesol gel (Clindamycin) twice daily for 15 days. Take Tablet Zincovit (multivitamin tablet) once a day after food for 30 days. Avoid scratching and rubbing of lesions. Moisturize skin daily with Venusia max cream (Aloe butter, Shea butter, Mango butter, Cocoa butter, and Glycerine). Follow up after two weeks. I hope you find it helpful. Kind regards.
