Eczema around nose due to dryness. Sugar makes it worse. How to treat it?
Patient: hey doc I ve been having dryness around my nose ever since 8th grade due to I think was excessive proactiv. until recently I ve been getting eczema around my nose and have eliminated sugars since I think makes it worse. it s now turned into hot and red nose after I eat some sugar. is this just hereditary and I have to live with it or is there a treatment? Doctor: HiConrad,  Thanks for writing in.   The condition you are suffering from can be acne rosacea or contact dermatitis. etc.  Chances of rosacea are more.Rosacea is treatable with drugs.It is a chronic but treatable condition.  Consider visiting your GP or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.  You can  apply Hydrocortisone cream over the area till you visit a doctor.   Hope this helps.
