Skin rash on Forehead
My mother is 73 years old. In the last week of February 2024, some marks appeared on her forehead. With the help of medications and creams like Flutivate and Elocon, the marks went away. However, when she stops using these treatments, the area starts to itch, and dark marks reappear.The affected area feels dry, and dry skin peels off. We saw a dermatologist who recommended a Cetaphil Moisturizer, but it hasn’t helped. The area still itches and looks red.It has been almost a year, and she still hasn’t recovered from this problem. I’ve attached pictures for your reference.Can you tell me what might be causing this and what treatment you recommend?
