Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20 year old female. There is swelling, redness, and itching on my face. Please help me with a treatment. This problem lasts so long, sometimes more than six months.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your complaint and you seem to be having dermatitis. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Mometasone cream on the affected area twice daily for two weeks and take antihistaminic like tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg twice daily. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Also, use a soap-free cleanser for washing face, avoid sunlight, hot humid weather and stay in a cool airy environment.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
