I have a rash on my face I noticed a few days ago. My skin is red and blotchy with what looks like tiny white heads all over the area. I have been using my typical acne treatments and I have popped some of the tiny white heads. They look like mini clogged pores and against the sides of my nose, mouth, chin and against my jawline. Last break out like this was 10-11 months ago and i noted this was triggered from a water enhancer I was using. Is this an allergy to a type of food dye?
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Since your symptoms are recurring after 11 months there may be chance of allergy, but your description on the lesions suggests more of acne. Redness may be due to infection. Don't pop anything, wash regularly with cool water for 5-7 times a day, use oil remover soap, don't rub your towel on face just press it to absorb water, can start topical antibiotic to prevent infection and anti acne ointment. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards
