Since last year, I've been getting hives all over my face. After I take a shower, my face would always show it. It is always so itchy, red and you can see a patch of red skin that juts out, which I believe are hives. I've been to my doctor, but he believes it is just my eczema so he has prescribed me some medicated lotion (pms-desonide cream 0.05%) and pills if my face gets uncontrollably itchy (hydroxyzine hcl). But since then I've been using the lotion a lot and I'm worried that I'm using it too much on my face... Especially on my eyelids since I've read on the internet that I shouldn't be using it too much. I want to find out if this is really eczema or is it something that I am allergic to? I don't want to keep on using the lotion on my face nor taking the pills. I am also wondering if I should go see an allergist to test what I may be allergic to? Thanks for your help!!!
