Red rashes all over cheek, took laxative for first time. Can it be possible cause?
I am a 49 year-old woman. I had never had facial skin issues in my life until now. I am not allergic to anything. Changing lotions never affected my skins. I have not changed any soap or lotions recently. I noticed this morning that I have reddish rashes (tiny rashes) all over my cheek. The only cause I can think of is laxative (liquid) I took for the first time in my life two days ago. It does not hurt or itches. Will it go away since I no longer take the laxative?

Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
The rashes can be contact dermatitis or laxative allergy.
Apply cooling and soothing lotion like aloe vera over the area .It will help in getting redness away.
Avoid the same laxative in future.Rashes will go away.
Hope this helps.
