Grr
This is pissing me off. I have a small rash of red itchy skin next to my nose. If it was constantly there then I'd have seen a doctor and worked it out, but as I have Excema anyway I figured I'd wait it out.
After about 5 days, the rash went away. But it keeps coming back, every 7 days or so. I don't understand what could be causing it, the only thing I can think of (haven't changed is soap powder. Or diet, my vitamins ran out and it happened AFTER that. I eat a salad a day but drinking a buttload of orange juice sometimes knocks it on the head)
Its wierd, not debilitating really just itchy and red for a few days. Any clue on wot it is? |

| Go see a dermatologist. I don't think anyone with a medical degree would be teaching english in Korea. |

| Some forms of herpes can cause regular (particularly stress-related) outbreaks on your face. I'm just sayin', is all, I'm just sayin... |

| My guess is that it is contact dermatitis. If you can't see a dermatologist soon, just go to a general practitioner and get a topical steroid. I bet it will knock it out within days. |

You can get a topical steroid for contact dermatitis from any pharmacy. If that's what it is, of course. I would go to a dermatologist. |
