Face iritation.

Hi,
Some times, my face get irritated and itchi based on stress or tiredness. Small red spots are showing on the face on morning in specially and the skin gets very dry. If I get enough sleep-witch is not so possible, all this are gone. I need to know what should I do to not get all this red and itchi spots on my face?
Thank you!

Hello,
Avoid using any lotions and creams over the face for the meantime. Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.

If the irritation persists then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist and get eczema ruled out as it also presents with dry, itchy skin rashes which increase after stress. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
