What Causes Rashes On The Face?

Yea I break out in a rash that is only on my face and hair line. I have been told it is hives. How can you tell the difference from hives and a yeast infection on your face. I never know when this is going to happen and it is impossible to get rid of but more important it is humiliating. They are bright red and impossible to cover up

Hello,

Urticaria (hives) is a raised, red rash caused by allergy, stress, or irritants. It usually calms after applying steroid cream or using oral antihistamines. Your symptoms seem to be related to hives.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
