Hi doctor how are you? I have a skin allergy I got by doing this: I did my face threading yesterday and by mistake I applied lemon on it and when I woke up today in the morning I had a skin allergy. Tomorrow is my big day and I don't know what to do with this allergy, is there any natural remedy for my allergy? It is red in color and it is on my whole face it is a nightmare for me, please help me!

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Face threading and then applied lemon on face. Today red skin may be due to citric acid of lemon acting on skin or due to allergy. Wash your face regularly for 7-8 times a day with cool water. Dont put any soap and can use calamine lotion. Dont rub your towel to dry your face but just dry it by applying pressure. This lesion need to be examined for proper diagnoais. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
