[|Human|] I have a weird rash on both sides of my nose...red, flakey, and wont go away.  Ive been keeping it very clean.  I started using tea tree oil and that seems to help.  Ive NEVER had skin problems or acne so this is unusal.  I am wondering could it be a sign of something else wrong?
[|AI|]  Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor I will keep a possibility of seborrhea dermatitis. Seborrhea dermatitis is an itchy, scaly condition and can present as patches on the scalp as well as on face. The areas affected on the face are classically sides of nose, glabella, eyebrows, chin and mustache area. Seborrheic dermatitis is a steroids responsive condition. I usually ask my patients to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. fluticasone propionate 0.05%cream, twice daily. Topical steroids usually bring about remarkable improvement in seborrhea dermatitis in about 2 weeks when they can be substituted with topical immunomodulator e.g. tacrolimus Or Pimecrolimus. Topical immunomodulators may be used as maintenance therapy in seborrhea dermatitis since it is a recurrent condition. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate prescription. Regards
