bumpy, iychy face rash

I just developed this rash on my face. It's was red a few days ago, but not so much anymore. it has bumps(not big, but small) and it's super itchy. as far as it seems, it's only on my chin and cheeks. i don't know what it's from, but i looked stuff up on the internet. some kind of dermititis?? not completely sure. any ideas of what it could be?

Hello,
Since this itchy rash appeared suddenly, so most likely it is contact dermatitis or some sort of skin irritation causing dermatitis. You can take antihistaminics like Benadryl and Claritin. Topical low potency corticosteroids and calamine lotion are also helpful in relieving the symptoms. More severe cases require oral corticosteroids and immunotherapy. For that you need to consult your dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
