Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query it is an allergic reaction of skin known as contact dermatitis which occurs on coming in contact with allergen. Need not to worry about it. Take antihistamine tablet to prevent immediate allergic reaction response. Apply topical cream rich in steroid such as Fluticasone. Avoid going out with skin uncovered as it will exaggerate rashes. Apply medicated sun screen TANCARE rich in spf 26. Keep washing your face with plain water 3-4 times a day. Drink plenty of water. Your symptoms will start resolving. If your symptoms still keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
