Hey. Im a 28 year old male and my condition is on the face. It started about 4 years ago. What happens is that i will get these rash like areas around the sides of my nose and upper lip that will itch and flake once i wash the areas. It will go away for a bit but it comes right back in the exact same areas and looks virtually identical as the previous affected areas befor.
HelloI would be pleased to answer your question. Seborrhea Dermatitis: These grains sound like small crusts and your condition sounds like seborrhea dermatitis. This is a condition where the body loses tolerance for a yeast called Malaysia (which is present normally on all our skins) and starts attacking it leading to symptoms. This condition responds fastest to a steroid and antiyeast lotion applied on the area twice a day. This requires a prescription and your doctor can write one for you. If you cannot see your doctor for any reason then here is what I would recommend trying: Mizoram- cream: to apply alternate day (e.g. Mon-Wed-Fri). Use regularly for 4-6 weeks then start decreasing the frequency of application gradually till you reach once a week and maintain. Also use over the counter sortied cream (steroid creams) Avoid picking the area. Please feel free to ask if you have any queries. Thanks and Take care
