Need to remove a small red rash on my face. In the initial face I thought it to be a mosquito bite which would get removed by time. Unfortunately it is still for a month. Chemist told me that it is a skin allergy and have recommend clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream which I am using it for a few days but I can?t see effect.
