Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to dermatitis.
It is an inflammatory skin condition.
If you send me a photo, it would be very helpful through the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, I suggest to use Calmine lotion for local application.
I also suggest to use antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg to reduce the inflammation.
I recommend to avoid using Retinol for a while which may have triggered the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Why is my hair falling Out?
Brief Answer:
Follow up query explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
Contact dermatitis can also cause hair loss.
The hair loss can be moderate in this case.
If the hair fall continue I suggest to do a biopsy of the scalp to confirm the cause of the hair loss.
Meanwhile, I suggest to use a gentle, unscented shampoo.
I also suggest to avoid styling products.
You should also take a biotin supplement for the hair.
If you have further queries, feel free to contact me again.
Take care dear,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
