Hi
The kind of itchy skin lesions you have developed over your face point more towards an allergic process.
Such a skin allergy over the face can develop due to usage of any new creams or cosmetics.
Even sun allergy can lead to such a presentation .
I would advise you to stop using any such products .
You need to apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone over the affected areas twice a day .
Use a good sunscreen before going out in the sun .
Hope it helps
