Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this rash that you have reported. From the description of your symptoms, it is very suggestive of an allergy. Did you tr anything new? Any new environments? make up products? Food types?, etc.
I have no doubt that steroids and antihistamines would help with this. What I would like to establish is that it is for sure and allergic reaction so that we can go ahead and fish out the possible cause in order to be able to avoid in future. Please, let e have the picture.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
