Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of itching and burning sensation on the face which can occur due to many conditions like contact dermatitis due to allergy, sunburn, and could be a viral infection.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper examination and to find out the exact cause. The doctor may order a blood test or skin test. He/she may prescribe antibiotics/antiviral depending upon your condition. For now, wash your face with antiseptic soap, take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl and take ibuprofen (if not allergic) or acetaminophen for pain and inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
