###Human: How to treat persistent itchy rashes on the ear? ###Assistant: Hello. I understand your concern. This is not herpes (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and this is a superficial fungal infection known as tinea corporis. If it involves the face exclusively, then it is called tinea faciei. Kindly consult your doctor, discuss the suggestion and take the treatment with consent. A. Capsule Itraconazole 100 mg twice a day after meals. B. Tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg twice a day. C. Cream Terbinafine apply twice a day. Do this for 10 days, and you will feel better. Follow up after that.
