HI, My name is Shikha and I am 26 years old. I have never got any kind of acne or pimples on my face in earlier life and my skin is normal but little dry sometimes with a very sensitive nature. Therefore, I don t use any harsh cream or go through any facials regularly. All I do for my skin is cleansing. We had a function on 07.06.2014 and I went for a facial on 05.06.2014 for the first time. I had a little itchy skin that time and two or three pustules on my face before that facial. But I vanished them by putting Soframycin overnight. But as of now, I have been allergic on my face. I got lot many pimples and they are too scratchy and red in color. I have been to a dermatologist. He gave me allergic tabs plus a lotion and one other cream to put on those pimples. Today is the first day I will start using them for next ten days. I need to know that what could be the reason for this allergy so that I would remain cautious for next time. The reasons which I believe that could be
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that you have Allergic Contact Dermatitis causing inflammation and bumps over the face due to allergic reaction to any of the cosmetic product that you have used. It is a bit difficult to explain that what is causing the allergic reaction without proper evaluation and investigations as dust, turmeric as well as expired cosmetic product all are potent agents that can cause allergy. Consulting an Allergist and getting evaluated will help you to rule out the exact cause of reaction. You should continue taking the anti allergic and other topical agents advised to you by your physician. For lubrication of skin you can use algebra gel. For facials use only dermatological tested branded products. Wash face frequently with cool water. Avoid exposure of skin to dust as well as over exposure to sun should be prevented. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
