What Do Red Rashes On The Face Indicate?

My 76 year old mother has 2 or so blotchy red patches on her face; it is rough to the touch, slightly itchy, feels hot to her but not to the touch; we ve ruled out sunburn, it s been there for a least a week; she also has two smaller red spots she has all the time and they seem imflamed too; her eyes are slightly itchy too. She took a desloratazine last night; hasn t helped. She also put some cortisone cream on her face for a couple of days; hasn t helped.

Hi,

As the rash has started to lessen you should continue taking the anti allergic medicine and if possible discuss with your doctor about taking a steroid shot. It can help in improvement of the symptoms faster. A change is color can occur as the rash will gradually continue to subside so do not worry about it. Along with it do cool compresses or ice packs over the rashes. Apply Calamine lotion or Benadryl cream over it. If there is eruption of any new symptoms you should consult your Physician soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
