Skin rash question!
For the past five months I have has an itchy, scaly red rash on both
of my cheeks. It is about 2" and sometimes looks circular. First I
tried using hydrocortizone 1% and that took care of the itching and
calmed it down untill I thougt it was gone, but as soon as I quit
putting it on it would come right back.I went to the health
department thinking it may be ringworm. They could not tell what it
was because it was not flaired up. They gave me cream for ring
worm . Now it has been 2 weeks and the rash is still itchy and
scally and only seems more dry. Please help me!

It’s worth the money to see a dermatologist or, at very least, a family
doctor. The clinics specialize in VD/STDs, etc. so - while it was worth a shot
-
explains why the ringworm was not necessarily the culprit. If this were on the
whole face, we could offer suggestions based upon your skincare or cosmetics
routines … but the patches sound symptomatic of a medical condition. See a
dermatologist … work out payments if needed, but see one.
