Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of straight line 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. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper course of antihistamine drug along with short course of oral corticosteroids after proper prescription. Wash face with face wash 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 isotretinoin , steroid ointment or antibiotics course. Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
