Brief Answer:
It is likely to be due to an allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

The skin rashes are likely to be due to an allergic reaction to something. Take cetirizine tablet once daily for a few days. You may use KZ soap but I do not suppose that it will help in reducing the skin rashes. It contains kojic acid which is thought to be a skin whitening agent. But there are no definite proofs that it actually works. In fact, it might be a better idea to avoid using soap on your face during this period. Using Dove might be a better idea.

If you think that it could be due to the skin cream, simply avoid using it.

Let me tell you that skin whitening is practically a myth. Do not fall for it.

Hope that helps. If you found my answer to be helpful, please close the thread with a positive review and a 5 star rating.
