A member asked:

Patches on my cheeks beside the nose & on right side of my chin is very rough. its peeling off & pink. some times its itching & have this burning feel?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seborrheic Derm: Topical steroids reduce the inflammatory response and help control itching. You can buy Hydrocortisone cream 1% over-the-counter, and it's safe to use on the face. Apply twice a day to the affected area until the redness resolves. Save the Hydrocortisone for flare-ups and use the antifungal shampoo for maintenance because long-term steroid use can cause side effects.
