Hi there , Im a massage therapist and health care provider like yourself. Last night around 5pm I noticed swollen type rashes red, splotches along the forehead & scalp. Not sure if its a spider or mosquito but we used bactine the first night , Nothing happened. Now i bought cortisone-10 ultra moisturizer & 1/2 a Benadryl.... Im keeping my eye on it but it looks as though it s spreading to the eye. Any suggestions? Thank you so much
Hi, If Ben Chat Doctor.  Take antifungals orally and apply antifungal creams or gels like Ketoconazole (Mizoram). It should get well if it is caused by insect bite. But if it is spreads, it could be Seborrhea dermatitis.  See a Dermatologist, get physically examined. You may have to take a skin biopsy, to rule out chances of dermatitis. In the meantime wash your scalp with Season Blue or Parishioner Zinc (Head and shoulders) shampoo. You can apply Clobetasol (Close) to the scalp and the affected area. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
