There are many causes of facial rashes in men ranging from the common seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, and contact dermatitis all the way to less common. Seeing a board certified dermatologist is important to get an accurate diagnosis and regimen for treatment.
Not to evade the question but there are literally hundreds of different conditions that can cause a rash on the face: from infectious to allergic to systemic to irritant to ... A Dermatologist really needs to get involved to determine what the cause is for each specific rash.
Many possibilities (over 2 dozen). Best advice is to get checked out by a dermatologist, especially if the rash is itchy or spreading.
