I used this skin products for over a year and it was fine. But recently the weather change from cool to warm weather it started itching , and last week it was raining and cool ,no itchy at all. It came back and I tried to put some hydrocortisone tonight, it make my face turn red and I feel my face hot. What should I do to get rid of that while waiting to see dermatologist?
Brief Answer:
Care of the affected area
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Certain skin eczemas tend to develop during season changes.
Mix cortisone cream with a moisturising cream like vaseline and apply over the face two to three times daily . Keep the skin hydrated by applying plenty of moisturising lotions
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 over the face before going out in the sun since most of the skin eczemas tend to increase with direct sun exposure.
See a nearby dermatologist soon for a closer face examination and assessment.
