What Causes Itchy Red Rash On Face?
my son is 18yrs old and woke up with red bumps on his face and down below, also rashes on his face this morning. He has had the chicken pox in the 2nd grade. What is it? I told him the run a bath with Aveeno Oatmeal Bath and also got Aveeno anti-itch creme. It did stop the itch, but where did it come from?

Hello,
Itchy red rash on the face spreading downwards maybe due to allergy, hair dyes, skin irritants, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, etc.
He is suggested to take care of his hygiene, drink adequate water. Avoid eating food that triggers allergy. avoid hot spicy oily food, Stay away from addictions if any.
He can take non sedating antihistamines for relief. He can apply hydrocortisone cream in the area affected.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
