Brief Answer:
Allergic skin rash ,take treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I have seen the attached pictures .
You have surely developed an allergic reaction over the face.
Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected areas twice daily.
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 regularly before going out in the sun .Apply it atleast thirty minutes before going out and re apply every three hourly.
This will prevent any further increase in rash due to sunlight.
Take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl or levocetrizine along to relieve the associated itching and allergy .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected area.


Hope it helps
