Skin problems :-(

[habiba1]

Over the last year I keep getting tiny red itchy cluster spots on my face, it doesnt look very attractive and feels itchy.  I have always had very clear skin (other than rare outbreaks of exzema) , I eat well and drink 2 litres of water a day.  I have changed skin products to natural products with no perfume, chemicals etc, but no difference.  I use to think the cause was  my hair touching my face, by I pin that back now and still get them- not as bad though.  I've seen the doctor and he has diagnosed it exzema and prescribed me hydrochotisone cream, which works ish but they soon return once I stop using it.  Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?  And more importantly how can I cure it?  its really getting me down now :-((

Hi,

You should reconsult with your dermatologist and talk to him/her about your symptoms coming back again as son as you stop the medication.

Have you tried oral anti-histamine or anti-allergic medications?

Apply calamine lotion at the lesions to help soothe the site and also keep the area clean and wash your face with clear water several times a day. Drinking plenty of water daily and maintaining a healthy diet plan also helps.

Let us know how you are doing and what your doctor advises. Hope this helps.

Good luck.

You might also try changing your blankets and pillow as they can accumulate dust mites.  Just washing them usually isn't enough unless you wash frequently and with very hot water.

I have that same problem... I've had perfect porcelain skin, and then I unexpectedly am having problems with it. I have issues with eczema too, but on my arms. Better than my face I suppose. For one it's not evident, it just looks like hardcore freckles lol. I have a few freckles so it blends well. I usually get outbreaks either on my forehead or scalp, which sucks MAJOR *** because my hair is shaved like a mohawk kind of. Thankfully they have invented make-up. Maybe it could be the hair products you're using; I've noticed that ever since I started using a specific hair spray I've been having these outbreaks, almost as in an allergic reaction. Hmm although you did say that yours are itchy, mine are kind of sore. I don't know, but hoped that helped the slightest bit.

However if you want a treatment in which you asked for, try buying some “Oxy” and put that on it. It usually will clear that up in a few days, IF you keep using it.

Make sure you are washing your face twice a day and using astringent.

Take care.
