Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne and red spots on the face and chest allergic reaction Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction from cosmetics, vitamins and skin products , side effect of any medicine , eczema , psoriasis , bug bite and seborrheic dermatitis . In your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to allergic reaction either due to any skin product or medicine . I would suggest you to clean your face with cold water and mild soap , apply ice pack for 2-3 mins to get relief from itchiness and redness and take antihistamine like benadryl. Do not apply any cosmetics or skin product. If condition doesn't get better in 24 hours then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment, give adrenaline short and prescribe antibiotics in case of infection.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
