Suffering With Allergic Reaction On Face, Itching, Burning On Using Cream. How Can I Get Rid Of It?

I am having an allergic reaction on parts of my face. I think it is from my limictal or this face med I take. The allergic reaction is bothering me. I keep touching and itching my face. If I put cream or other stuff on it, my face will start burning and stinging. I am gonna look for a Dermotoligist in a few days. What can I do so I will stop touching and itching my face till I find a Dermotoligist?

Thanks for writing in HCM.
You have to avoid the cosmetic creams or other cosmetics which may cause allergy on your face. Wash your mouth three or four times in a day with water. Don't use excessive cold or hot water. Itching may be at least partially controlled with the use of low-sedating antihistamines . You can use alovera, it will reduce the burning sensation of your face. Protect your face from direct sun light and dust. Avoid traumatizing the skin by keeping fingernails short and hands clean to avoid scratching and infecting the skin.
Wishing you a good health.
