facial rash

by PJ02, Mar 18, 2008 08:31PM
I am 55 year old female.  Most of my life I have been plague with asthma and eczema.  For the past several years I have been getting a rash on my face.  The rash starts out around my eyes, nose, mouth and chin.  I can tell when it's starting because my face becomes hot in those areas and turns red.  My face feels like I have a sun burn.  After a few days my skin in those areas will actually peal.  The occurrence's are becoming more frequent and more severe.  I have tried many over the counter creams and many prescription steroids, topical and oral.   Please help.

Hi,

It would be best to consult a dermatologist before trying out any self
medication.

Do you have any history of allergy to any specific substances?

You would need a clinical examination for a confirmed diagnosis and only
then can the further plan of management be decided.

This could be a allergic reaction, sunburns, severe eczema, etc.

Let us know what your specialist advises and post us on how you are doing.

Regards.
