Rashes In Chin, Cheeks, Neck Caused By Synthetic Fur Pillows. How To Make Them Disappear?

I am 15 years old, female, and I woke up with a rash on my chin, cheeks (more on one side), and a bit of my neck. It seemed to spread a bit through the day (could be caused by me frequently touching it, being anxious and checking if its diminishing or not). It may be caused by some new synthetic fur pillows that I bought and slept with, but why would it be just on my chin? What can I do to make it disapear?

hi
Thanks for asking query on HCM.
it seems to be contact dermatitis, probably it started on the side where your face is in touch with the pillow
Avoid the synthetic pillow which is suspected to be the cause of this rash.
Apply calamine lotion to the affected part 2-3 times daily
Take Allegra (phexopenadine) 60mg tablets twice daily
usually it disappears within 3-4 days
Otherwise better consult a dermotologist
Hope this answer serves your purpose
