Aa
face burns
i had been to a dermatologist a few days ago and he had asked me to use faceclin-A (adapalene and clindamycin phosphate gel) for my acne.i am 14 years old.so after 2 days of usage i started feeling a burning sensation whenever i touch the areas and even if i apply a moisturizer.i hurts a lot.i hope someone can help me!!! :(
Out of the blue my face feels like it is on fire. I'm 43, female & have no idea what is going on. I am not using any shampoo, deodorant, or hair product that is different. The only change in my life is I stopped my Loestrin birth control pills on Aug 9th & had surgery for fibroid removal on Aug 24th. I also feel like there are some bumps, not pimples on my face, it feels dry & scaley.
It almost feels as if I got sunburned, but I dont go in the sun ever! I also feel a slight burning sensation on my upper arms & upper back, but no rask. No temperature change either. Help me please!

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it sounds like irritant contact dermatitis. Irritant dermatitis, the most common type of contact dermatitis, involves inflammation resulting from contact with acids, alkaline materials such as soaps and detergents, cosmetics, or other chemicals.
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. 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 dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
