Suggest Alternative Medication For Itchiness And Inflamed Skin
I bought a skin care system at a nice yard sale. I guess it is old and hadn;t been used in awhile. I know for sure it was these products because the itching and redness started later after using it. My face seems to be okay, but my neck is red and it itches like crazy and i can t help but scratch it. HELP! What can I do?

Hi,
It may be irritant contact dermatitis due to cosmetic you applied. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Apply mild steroid cream on affected areas.
Take antihistaminics like Cetirizine daily till you get improvement. If needed, oral steroid may be taken in tapering dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
