Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
I see through the query that you have already taken a proper treatment.
So,I suggest to continue the treatment as prescribed by your doctor.
Meanwhile,I suggest to maintain a good hygiene and use an antibacterial soap to clean the face.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
