How Can An Itchy And Raised Rash On The Face Be Treated?

Hello, I have a rash on my face of some sort and was told by a dermatologist that I have allergic contact dermatitis but I still do not know where the rash is coming from. The rash is raised, circular, itchy and starts off with what looks like a blister. My skin just literally rubs off in the areas of irritation. Any thoughts as to what this could be coming from.? Thanks!

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of rashes on face, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
