Have Rash Below Eyes To Lips. Had Been In Sun With Sunscreen. Can I Put Polysporin?
Hello, I was wondering if it's okay to put on Polysporin to my facial rash.
I was outside for an extensive period of time yesterday, it was quite sunny but I did apply sunscreen liberally. When I woke up this morning I had a rash below my eye area down to above my lips on one side of my face. I'm not sure if it's a sunburn or a rash from the sunscreen.
Thanks for any help :)

Hello Sophhiepuppy,
Thanx for your queries.
Sunscreen protect's for about 3-4 hours so did you apply it again in day time?
also was that sunscreen applied in your face for 1st time? if you were using it before then it should be sun that caused the rash.
Polysporin doesn't help you at this condition you better apply mild topical streiod for 2-3 days.
Thanx
