i checked it out. the picture is clear.

like itching, burning, pain?

No, I just noticed it one morning in the mirror
have you tried to treat it at all?
has the size increased in the last one month?
Not yet
the size doubled in the last month
is it flat or can you feel it when you touch it?
very small elevation, a bit more rough and tens then surrounding skin
Is someone still there?
alright, thanks a lot for your response.after seeing the picture, i have come to a probable diagnosis of:-1. eczema2. polymorphous light eruption3. psoriasis.is there any flaking of skin that you had seen?
yes i am still here i asked you a few queries.after seeing the picture, i have come to a probable diagnosis of:-1. eczema2. polymorphous light eruption3. psoriasis.is there any flaking of skin that you had seen?
No flaking
ok thanks. this is then most likely a polymorphous light eruption, its an allergy to the sun. its not necessary to have a lot of sun exposure to cause this type of lesion. it can happen with small amounts of exposure at the same site daily too. its a classic site for the polymorphous light eruption. its a harmless condition.i would recommend that you try to treat it with cortisone cream applied twice a day for 2 weeks. a polymorphous light eruption will show improvement.the cream is available over the counter.also please use a sunscreen regularly on the face.it will be the best to treat it.please let me know your queries.regards
