Suggest A Remedy For Red Rashes On Face

I am 53 years old in very good health. I have a red rash on my face. It seems to get worse in heat. I have been keeping my face hydrated by using vitamin E oil products. I drink at least a gallon of water per day and have done so for 30 years. The rash seemed to have started when I began drinking cucumber juice. I have since stopped the cucumber juice but the rash seems to be getting worse.

Hi dear...Its nice that you have good diet practices and i like that water drinking practise . Its good to keep in kidneys in function.Well cucumber juice is also good and i am sure if you should blame it for the rash.
So lets try it this way.
Take tab.cetrizine for the rash and apply calamine wherever you feel the itch or the rash.Also take a tab. albendazole 400mg one tablet only one day.
If the rash persists you can take tab. allegra ( fexofenadine 60 mg twice a day for three days).....
Then wait for a week , watch to see if the rash disappears and have half a cucumber.. are you allergic to cucumber whole... if no??? then you possibly arent allergic to cucumber juice either..
Its probably the other additives you are allergic too.
I would still advice you have cucumber as awhole first and then get back to the juice.
I hope this answers your query dear
Keep up the good health.. take care.
