Managing Persistent akin condition around my nose & forehead

I’ve been dealing with this condition for about two years now, and I’m 27 years old. It’s been very distressing for me. :frowning:

I’ve never had any skin issues before, so it feels really strange to be dealing with this now. At times, it affects my daily life, especially when it flares up. I get self-conscious and prefer not to go out when it’s bad—I’ve even had to take time off work this year because of it. I can go for months with clear skin, but then in just a few days, it can flare up severely. It leaves me feeling really depressed and frustrated when it happens!!

The condition mostly affects my nose and the skin around it—under my eyes and on my forehead, just above my nose it tends to flare up every month or so, but recently it’s been worse and sometimes takes a few weeks to calm down. I’ve been using both a medicated shampoo and anti-fungal creams, but they don’t seem to be as effective as I’d hoped

I’m wondering if anyone has any tips or methods that have helped them control it?
