Suggest Treatment For A Red Itchy Rash On The Face

I have broke out in a red, itchy, scaley rash on my face. It is under my nose on chin line and now some bumps on neck and face. I have thought through everything I did and ate the other day and can t think of anything that could of caused an allergic reaction. Help today it is worse. I vacuumed my room and washed pillow cases in Dreft.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red itchy rash on face which seems to be that fact that you are being exposed and re exposed to the allergen and this is the reason that the allergic reaction is persisting. I would suggest you to take proper course of antihistamine drug along with short course of oral corticosteroids after proper prescription. Wash face with facewash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid. Exfoliate your skin once in a week to remove the dead skin. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis and to rule out any underlying condition . Doctor may prescribe isoteritenoin , steroid ointment or antibiotics course. Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
