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!
