You were told you had a rash on your face due to your age?  By whom?  Rashes are very common in pregnancy...on the face, and on different parts of the body...it is most likely hormonal.  But..could also be an adverse reaction to something and should be checked out by your Dr.  Usually, it can be treated with hydrocortisone cream.

I would think Pamela is right.  However, I would also love to know who told you you had a rash due to age?  That doesn't make any sense at all.

Ya i know rash is common when pregnant but the doctor told me that becaseu of my age is probably why this preganancy is worse on me than the rest i should have said it better sorry about that. Does anyone know what i can put on it? i tried many crams and nothing seems to be working the doctor gave me something but it doesn't work either.

I have super sensitive skin and tend to get rashes quite easily.  I honestly have found using nothing seems to work best for me.  If it gets itchy, I will take a bath in epsom salts or use an ice pack on it (I know, sounds weird, but it takes away the discomfort) and other than that I just leave it alone.  However, its not due to hormones in my case, just sensitivites to chemicals in detergents and things, so not sure if thats the best thing for you or not. Perhaps the cream the Dr. gave you just needs a bit mroe time to work?  Or perhaps he can send you too a dermatologist?  Good luck to you!
