Specializes in Infectious Disease

Cause of botching?: To get more even skin tone (other than masking it) , it is important to know what is causing the red blotchy skin- an infection? Allergic reaction?Autoimmune cause? By doing so, it can be treated appropriately. Your doctor can help get a referral to a dermatologist depending on the specific details of your case.
