What Causes Rash On The Face Which Is Spreading?

I had a hip scope two weeks ago. I have a rash on my face that seems to be spreading only on the face. We noticed the rash appear when I got out of recovery to currently. I stopped taking any pain meds over a week ago, thinking of allergic reactions. Also no new meds started, face creams, foods, drink, drugs etc. I have had 2 MI's and am 31 years old. No allergies to anything. Any ideas?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms can be related to many medical conditions.
One of the common conditions is atopic dermatitis, which is an inflammation of the skin.
In such a case I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine daily.
I also suggest using a mild steroid cream for a local application.
In case that you don't get better you should see a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
