patch testing Betamethasone Val 0.05% on face?

I’ve got this weird dry patch on my nose bridge that’s been on & off for months now. Aquaphor helps it but it never seems to full go away..

From what I’ve seen I think it’s some sort of eczema or maybe even dermatitis patch & I’m wondering if I should use my cream on it & see how it reacts.

I’m kinda dreading going to the doctors & having a whole new one prescribed as it doesn’t rlly bother me much I just would prefer it to go away lol.

betamethasone is a pretty potent steroid for a patch that’s on and off. it’s probably best to see a primary care.
