Brief Answer: Allergic contact dermatitis Detailed Answer: Dear Ms Thanks or clinical photograph. These lesion are typical of allergic contact dermatitis. Facial skin is very sensitive and is more prone for harsh ceimical. There is also grade 1 superficial burns over the chin likely to be due to exaggerated reaction. I would advise you the following 1. Prevent direct exposure to sunlight 2. Use mild face wash to wash the face thrice a day 3. Stop application of any cosmetics or moitourizing cream/lotion 4. Stop Hydrocortisone local application 5. Mometasone cream for local application , followed by application of liquid paraffin is advisable. Apply the mematasone cream and after that apply liquid paraffin in the same way as you apply moitourizing cream. If there is itching or burning Tablet Hydoxyzine which is an anti-histaminic can be taken. Do get back to me for any further query. Take Care Best Regards Dr Shobha
