Zyrtex is a prescription medicine but, Claritan is not and both are oral medicines taken once a day. Zyrtex can make you tired...I don't think Claritan does?

the dermatitis and allergy diagnosis sounds correct. I am not sure if they sell Aveeno lotion in Brazil? It's an oatmeal based lotion. I wash my face with very mild soap (Ivory) and apply Aveeno every day and every night.  I haven't had any face/skin/allergy problems since... I would maybe ask a doctor is there is an antihistimine she could take - like Zyrtex that would prevent the problems ((if allergy related))
