Red patches on face are small reddish blemishes that form on an individual which looks like small contents of the skin has been peeled off the face leaving a red patch on face. The condition is common in most people of all races and age. Though the condition is always ignored as it comes and in a day or two, they disappear under no medication. Can melanomas be red in colour? One of the mechanisms used for non-qualified people to spot a mole that is different is the ‘ugly duckling’ principle. Most people’s moles are consistent for their body so a similar tone and shape which may differ from the next person’s. A mole that stands out as different requires investigation. The answer to the question if skin cancer can come and go is rather tricky. Skin cancer coming and going would refer to malignant cells being there one day and then withering away shortly. Red Blotches on face The skin is the body’s largest organ and also the most conspicuous. The skin of the face is the most visible of all so it is hardly surprising that any disfiguring marks can be a cause of great distress.

I am 27 years old, with fair skin, and currently 35 weeks pregnant. Over the last 2-3 weeks I have developed a strange rash/spot of sorts on my face. It began as a small, reddish patch (looked kind of like a small abrasion) on my left cheek, about 3/4 inch below the outside corner of my left eye. It slowly grew over about 5-7 days. It was red, became slightly raised, and was almost perfectly round. It may have had a very faint reddish border, or it may have just been the raised edges that made it appear so. Anyway, it finally reached about the size of a dime. The inside was *very* slightly dry/flaky, and it would only occasionally itch a *very* little bit (almost so as not to be noticed). I tried applying Neosporin from the time I first noticed it -- it didn't seem to have much of an effect. However, after growing to dime-sized, it slowly cleared up. After 3 or 4 days, it was gone.
Then, about 3 or 4 days after it had disappeared, the whole process began again. Exact same spot; it slowly grew (perhaps it was a little bit larger the second time and a little less perfectly round); but overall the same development. I went to my primary care physician, who took a small scraping from it and looked at it under a microscope. He said he couldn't clearly see a fungus, but also couldn't identify it as anything else. He recommended trying Miconazole 2% (Monistat) on it for two weeks. Well, I began applying it, and once again -- about 7-8 days after it reappeared -- it cleared up over 3-4 days. I have, however, continued to use the Miconazole. Nonetheless, the spot is now reappearing, in the same spot...
I am hoping to get referred to a dermatologist, but in the meantime, wonder if you have any suggestions as to what this might be? What kind of rash can come and go, in the exact same spot, like this? Could it be a strange side-effect of the pregnancy? Is it likely to spread or keep getting bigger?
Please help! -- this rash (or whatever it is) in addition to all the normal problems of pregnancy is really stressing me out. I assume it's not eczema/psoriasis because it doesn't really itch; it doesn't seem to be a fungus or bacterial because it hasn't responded to either an anti-fungal cream or Neosporin. I'm worried if it's something that could have an effect on the baby. I've also read that some immuno-deficiency disorders (like lupus, etc.) can cause rashes on the face. Could this be one of those??
Thank you,
