What Causes Painful White Spots On Face After An Injury?

I squashed some kind of roach in Winder, GA. I hit it so hard with a fly swatter that the guts flew and hit my face. My face started burning immediately and hat irritated white spots. I washed immediately but it still burns. I don t know what type of roach, but I was hoping you might know and be able to get rid of the pain.

My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic

Your details point out that you have got an irritant reaction to the body juices of roach.

You did well in washing the smeared area immediately thereafter. In a case like this, one needs to repeat washing for several times and also apply some Hydrocortisone cream to take care of redness, burning and itching. To make the recovery process faster, one might consider using anti allergic by mouth.

Please take care and revert if needed.

Best wishes from healthcaremagic!
