Itching In Neck And Face. Been To Beach. Applying Cosmetics, Hair Lotions. Suggestions?

Hi I have continuous itching of my neck and my face a lot. I am not sure if its because of the cosmetics I use or my hair lotion rubbing on my chin. But its very itchy at times especially on the sides of my cheek and my neck.
Recently I went to the beach and since then its been very high no matter how many moisturizers or cortisone cream I use.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The presence of the itchy rash on a localised area of the body in this case the face and neck usually implies that it may be related to an allergic response to something that is coming into contact with that area.

This would include any creams , lotions or soaps that you may be using.

YOu may want to consider switching these agents. It would be best to do this one at a time so that you can identify which is causing the problem.

I hope this helps
