about a year ago I used a facial mask that claimed to be organic, and it burned really bad so I took it off. I seriously think it gave me chemical burns, I'm not exaggerating one bit. my face was raw, and red and itchy and looked horrendous. I was pretty upset because I rarely put stuff on my face and never get acne and figured I would treat myself to a face mask. bad idea. I don't know if the thing on my face is a result of the face mask or not, but i figured I would mention, since it happened around the same time.
anyways, it started to heal, but then a small red spot that I thought was a zit showed up on my face where one of the "burns" was... it got really itchy and after I itched it it turned into a red rash. I stopped itching it. it then turned into a rough, thich, red, itchy, raised rash about the size of a dime. it is impossible to cover with makeup because it looks flakey and without makeup it is an extremely noticeable red spot.
I am kind of worried, because I looked up rash, and of course got tons of pages about skin cancer.
I don't think it is skin cancer. but then again it will not heal.
I tried putting rubbing alcohol on it (because I dont have peroxide)
and then putting aquaphor on it for dryness and healing.
it just will not go away.
it is extremely noticable and frustrating, as, like I said, I normally have very clear skin.
does anyone else have something like that going on? or maybe some insight?
