I need your help.
Last week, during the afternoon, I noticed a bright red 'rash' on the right side of my face.
I asked my Facebook friends what I should do. They suggested some Benadryl cream or something similar.
Well, it's still there.
I'm beginning to think it's actually a breakout.
I've never had anything like this. It's hot and sensitive.
Yikes.
I've used Purity Made Simple by Philosophy for years with no problems.
What do you suggest to get this to settle down and clear up??
Boo.

Is it Rosacea?
ReplyIt just showed up on Friday.
Some folks on Facebook are saying it looks like fifth disease. And that would make sense since I was sick a couple weeks ago. Drat.
Go to a Doctor...

I don't want to take wild guesses, but there is a great site where you might get some info:

See a dermatologist sooner than later....you may need a prescription not over the counter "cures"
ReplyI wonder if it is rosacea too? I have had issues with my skin my whole life.When I have little flear ups I take a benadryl.But I would still call my Dr. to see what it was.It could be a reaction to meds you are taking too.

rosacea.. or a simple dermatitis.. see your physician...
ReplyAfter 20 years in the cosmetics industry and seeing lots and lots of rosacea, I think that's what you may have. But for it to flare up so suddenly is a bit strange. Go see a doctor, get some cortisone cream or a prescription to "calm" the redness. There probably isn't anything cosmetic based that will fix this. Hopefully it's not rosacea and just a reaction to something in your system.
ReplySorry sweetie. Is it hot to the touch? If so, it's probably not rosacea and just a rash which will go away in time.
Try some Neosporin. Works wonders for all kinds of things and has helped me with the occasional breakout. Then yes, by all means see the doc. Hope it eases up soon! :-)
ReplyDid you change any medications Lately? Changed any washing powders ,soap, Softener, any new food you have eaten I.....
ReplyI could give you a list of thing to try mixture of olive oil and baking soda or Aloe Vera to relieve itching Vitamin E and cod liver oil...
Vitamin E always works for me I put it on at night.
I would go to the Doctor because you said it is Sensitive & hot.
In the mean time ice will help the Hotness.
Take care Meg
