Itchy Face and Facial Rash – Causes, Treatment, Pictures
Hi….
I have a question about itchy and reddened skin that had occurred suddenly.
I am a 40 yr. old woman w/very fair and semi-normal skin.
Due to the fact that my skin seemed to be so dry and rough all the time, I decided to try out a new moisture cream (Oil of Olay Complete).
Within a few days, I noticed that my skin started getting very red and itchy. After about the 3rd day of use, I had a rash that felt and looked like I had a sun burn.
My skin was bright red and somewhat bumpy w/little white dots on my chin and cheeks. Not to mention, I itched ALL over my face – mainly on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead (above the eyebrows).
To say the least, I immediately stopped use! In which case, things stilled continued; however, slightly less traumatic (meaning the dots and bumps went away…) but, the redness and itching remained.
After going to my physician, he told me to take some Benadryl and cortizone. I’ve been using this stuff for almost two weeks and I notice that if I wash my face and use the cortizone and/or old face lotion, that my face still gets really red and itchy – even if I just use the cortizone.
Throughout the day, the redness slightly lessens, but the itchiness stays, unless I stay on the Benadryl….. which, I can’t see myself staying on forever, ya know?
Also, I noticed that if I wash my face and don’t put anything on afterward… like no cortizone and/or lotion, my face is waaayyyy less red and/or itchy as well! The only drawback to this is that my face is very dry then.
What could possibly be the problem and how do I get back to my regular skin care routine? I’ve always fought w/periodic acne breakouts and dry skin, but never to this extent and never this redness and itchiness!!!
Please help – Thank you!

itch and rash, comming and going, plus cough, speak for an
allergy – to food or something other, like cosmetics,
substances in the air, molds on the walls, new lacquer on the
furniture, and so on. I recommend you to visit an
allergologist.
Hi there, last year sometime around september, i got a cold sore
on my lip from borrowing lip balm from a room mate, my mouth within
2 days went imflamed and i flared up with a bad case of coldsores
all over my lips, i treated that, by using coldsore treatment, but
bacteria had caused my coldsores to weap, and so then my doctor
gave me foban to treat the redness and scabs, it cleared up a bit,
since then, my mouth has been read and itchy , every single day
since now so like7 months i have very itchy skin thats noticalbly
red. i went back to the doctors and she then gave me pimafucort, it
soothes it for a while but it is still itchy and red and
irritating, Could you possibly give me some help, its so annoying
and i feel very self concious..
if you search online for “menopause itch” you will
find a lot of related info. Moisturizing creams and drinking enough
water may help. Also check information leaflets of all drugs you
are taking, since an itch can be a side effect of one or more of
them.
