How Can A Rash On The Face After Applying A Face Mask Be Treated?
Hi I have a rash, it s been going on for more than a month. It started when I put a face mask on, then it got worse when I put zit cream on. It s still going on and when I itch it sometimes is just red and other times it s red with a who re dot in the middle. It s only on my face. I hope this is enough info
It looks like chemical irritation on face caused by the ingredients of the face mask. It can also be due to ingredients in the cream. So first of stop using the face products that are causing you allergy.
You should do cool compresses over the face, you can rub ice over the face. Apply Aloevera gel on face. To reduce itching take anti allergic medicine like Fexofenadine or Levocetrizine.
You can also apply calamine lotion over the face. As much as possible avoid scratching the face if there is itching. Avoid excess sun exposure as it can also irritate the skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr.Honey Arora, Dentist
