Tender lighter spots around nose and mouth may be seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis usually presents as either red patches with greasy, yellowish scale or lighter than skin color patches with a whitish scale at the hairline, in the eyebrows, around the nose and chin area. They may be itchy or sensitive. Seborrheic dermatitis also presents on the scalp as dandruff and itching. Please consult your dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
