Suggest Remedy For Itchy, Burning Rashes On Face
Need help with an allergy or let me say infection I had on my face. It s itching and sometimes burning when I wash my face. Contacted my PCP and he prescribed a steroid (Medrol) dose pk. But on finishing the medication, the rashes came back and its still itchy as well. What do I do? Thanks.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Since the rash and itching return when you wash your face, you may want to take a look at the agents you are using.
You should consider changing your facial soap to a simple soap with reduce allergic potential to see if this reduces the reactions.
If this does not help, then you may want to consider allergy testing to see if you can identify a specific allergen.
I hope this helps
