Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query itchy rash and red dots on face could be due to allergic reaction or some foreign body which is acting as irritant reaction. Need not to worry about it. Wash face with water 3-4 times a day without usage of any chemical. Use a mild moisturiser over face along with mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone. Use combination of anti allergic and antihistamine drugs to prevent further exaggeration. Use cold compressors for immediate relief. Topical application of antibiotic ointment could be very effective as it could be due to certain infection as well. Drink plenty of water. Your symptoms will resolve in one week. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
