Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small bumps on the face which occur due to many reasons like excessive sun exposure or allergy . The other reason of red bumps can be a skin infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use face wash containing salicylic acid and apply kojic acid cream twice a day after washing face . Use sunscreen with SPF 15 while in exposure to sun to prevent skin from excessive sun damage.

- Apply aloe vera gel at night.


-Exfoliate facial skin once a week to remove dead skin.

-Drink plenty of fluids and water to hydrate yourself.

- Give cold compresses for itchiness .

If condition persist even after month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , antiviral , steroid drugs (oral/topical) or isoteritenoin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
