Suggest Treatment For Rashes On Face
Question: Hi,i wanted to get some help regarding rashes on my face.
Brief Answer:
Can you describe about the rash
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I think your question is short of information.
I wish you give me more details about the rash on the face.
When did the rash appear? Did it spread to any other part?
Where is it on the face? any distribution like on the nose or fore head or on cheeks?
What is the color of the rash?
Do you have itch?
It would be good if you can upload a picture of the rash?
Looking for your reply.

The rash appeared just 3 days from today.My whole face was completely healed and 2 days before when i return home from school i saw my face having small bumps like rashes.I tried shaving yesterday and it was nearly impossible because as i had to shave through the bumps,it started hurting.Whenever i shave,my face does not appear like that,it is usually silky smooth.But now its really rough
Hi,i wanted to get some help regarding rashes on my face.I did waxing on my face and this caused severe swelling which turned to a burning like appearance on my face(it was sticky whenever i touched my face).I somehow got the help of the nearby pharmacy which suggested me to use hydrocortisol and allertin and he said that i do not have my primary face tissue and will take 1 week for me to recover.The next day i went to another pharmacy to request the help of another pharmacist because the medicine(hydrocortisol) given to me was not that effective.Instead the second pharmacist after analysing the precarious condition of my face told me to hydrate it with Cetaphil and first aid webber vitamin E.My whole face started to recover within 4 days and almost all the scars are merely noticeable.But after recovering,yesterday i witnessed that my face starts to show symptoms of rashes and is a bit swollen on the same spot where i got the waxing done.I am using hydrocortisol again hoping for the rashes to disappear.I dont kno what to do?

Brief Answer:
Razor bumps
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
They purely look like razor bumps. If you had started shaving in the reverse direction of the hair growth then you will surely find them bothering. I could see all the photographs and could understand improper shaving as the cause.
Do not shave in the reverse direction of your hair growth. You can carefully observe how the hair on the chin grows and shave in its direction.
If you have not changed the way you shave there could be other reasons like use of shaving cream, after shave lotion that you may have changed recently.
It is commonly observed that razor bumps commonly develop if you go to a local shop for shaving. You can better do it yourself. You should thoroughly wet the beard and put the foam for sometime on the beard before you use the razor.
Hope this perspective helps.
