Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern for swelling, redness around nose, cheeks and under eyes after facial. It appears from your query that you have developed contact dermatitis after the facial.

I first and foremost suggest you to not expose yourself to direct sunlight and external environment as it can cause more aggravation of the problem. Also I suggest you to not to go for any further beauty procedures on face.
In your kind of cases I suggest my patients to apply a mild steroid lotion such as fluticasone or Mometasone for 3-4 days of period.

For maintenance therapy if I were your treating doctor then would have prescribed you calamine lotion to be applied for 2 times daily and should be applied at night time.

For itching I prefer to give an antihistamine such as cetrizine or levocetrizine or loratadine for two times a day for few days.

All the best.
