Suggest Remedies For A Rash On The Face

HI I have a really bad rash on my face but it s not a normal rash because first it starts in a small area on my face and as times goes by it gets bigger and at times appears on the other side of my face. It s embarrassing because it looks like a bunch of white heads altogether. They easily pop and rear appear again.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rash on the face which is very common due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. It can also occur due to allergic reaction or side effects of certain medicine.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry and apply cream containing azelaic acid. You should apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin along with anti inflammatory medications. Apply ice pack on rashes 2-3 times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
