Hello

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com

I can understand your concern.

I can't really appreciate the redness clearly on your forehead to diagnose it as rosacea. Could you please send me more pics which show all areas of redness and little closer view

From your history it could be rosacea. Metronidazole gel application is known to help with the redness.

Take care,
Regards

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

From the pictures that you sent me it doesn't seem to be rosacea. It appears to be seborrheic dermatitis which is an eczema.

I would recommend application of a mixture of cortisone cream and clotrimazole cream twice a day for a week n see if it helps.

Atleast on the forehead it appears to be seborrhoeic dermatitis and not rosacea.

Take care
