Something I've used irritated my face, its burning, itchy, swollen. What can I get to treat my skin?

My face started off as being chapped. I had been sick %26amp; had a bad migraine %26amp; layed in bed for 2 days, sweating. I believe that is what caused my face to chap (is that possible?). It started off like a wind burn. Was just a little red %26amp; felt a little like light sandpaper, to the touch. I've tried using different lotions %26amp; ointments on it. I used a few different kinds of lotions. I must've either had an allergic reaction to one of them or maybe an ingredient irritated my face (I just checked ingredients, which include alcohol, different kinds of acids %26amp; menthol). Is this what's happened? My skin is tight %26amp; is now lumped up in spots. It's irritated %26amp; sore %26amp; a little bit itchy. What can I get to treat my skin, without irritating it worse?

Try to remember what you eat. Maybe that was the reason for your migraines too. This sound like food allergy to me.Drink a lot of liquids included fresh natural juices, a Benadryl will help. But for your face, make some Chamomile tea and Wash your face gently, and instead of cream use Extra virgin olive oil. This will heal your face. After you are completely recovered, have a steam bath with chamomile tea, (make tea in a pot, and wile its steamy, cover you head with a towel). and after that make a mixture with olive oil and sugar , and gently rub your face. and rinse as usual. I do this for years, and people always compliment me for a nice complexion of my face.
Reply:If you haven't tried it any "Aveeno" product usually works wonders. I have eczema and that's what I use when I get the rashes from it. They have all sorts of things...from bath oatmeal, lotions, and cleansers. Hope it helps :)
Reply:Are you sure this isn't caused by a vrius or bacterial infection? I think you should take a Benadryl and then go to your general practitioner and try to get an answer to why you are experiencing this skin rash. He/She can give you a prescription medicated cream, possibly a steroidal cream, if you have contact dermatitis. If it caused by an infection then the treatment might require antibiotics or some other medication you won't be able to find over the counter.





Good luck!
Reply:This is an allergic reaction. Go to the doctor NOW
Reply:firstly get an anti histamine which will help reduce the swelling and itchiness.have u possibly eaten something unusual recently? or anything u have never tried before?sometimes a food allergy can trigger the symptoms u have described.speak to a chemist regarding topical creams for your face. they can advise u best in case something makes ur face worse. good luck.
Reply:You have "sweated" and your face is the only place this has happened? (from being sick.) salt from your skin can do this..i have heard of it...little babies get like this too...)Bag Balm...) is a good all purpose ointment to have around the house for practically any reason....i have 2 cans in my house...just in case...bye!
