Suggest Treatment For Tightness And Redness On Face

My face started to feel tight and about ten minutes later I looked in the mirror and my face looked as if I had a sunburn , I also felt a slight burning as if I had been in the sun. Three days later my face peeled. This is the second time this has happened in 6 months. I have no other symptoms

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM team.

Understanding your concern.

As you describe in your query that you have redness and peeling of skin .Well there can be number of cause for this .But the most common causes for this are cold and dry weather ,weather change and sun burn .It could also be caused by allergic reaction due to some medicine or other product.

I would suggest you to not to wash your face with very hard soap it can lead to dryness ,apply vitamin c serum ,use sunscreen to protect your skin from sun burn and drink plenty of water .

If it still persists or worsen or doesn't improve consult dermatologist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
