Hi /adv/ I've recently begun suffering from dermatitis patches on my body and forehead. I've visited a doctor and was given some 1% hydrocortisone as a remedy. I tried it and my patches cleared within a week. However, a few days after I stopped using the steroid cream the patches on my forehead have returned. I've tried using moisturisers but to no avail and I don't wish to continue using topical steroids for long period on what may simply be a simple bacterial infection. Would a combination of a topical antibiotic like pic related and moisturiser be my best course of action?

Sounds very much like atopic dermatitis.
Have you been more stressed lately, sleeping less or changed your diet?

You'd be just as well off using an anti-bacterial soap to wash your face and changing your pillow case regularly, and wearing a night cap that you wash frequently. Also, if you're wearing any hats that go over your forehead, look at the materials they're made of and try something else, or line them with a hypoallergenic liner that you can wash.
