Skin Allergy On Face, Itchy, Red. Prescribed Antihistamine Tablets. Recommendations?
I've got skin allergies especially on my face for sometime already. It's very itchy, red and skin a bit peel-off. fyi, I do take care of my skin, I wash my face with wash-off cleanser twice a day (morning and night), apply moisturizer & etc. I've seen dermatologist for few years and he prescribed antihistamine tablets i.e. polaramine, zytec and etc each time I get the attack. I'm very miserable .....
