Question 1

what should i use on my face if i have a chemical burn from face wash?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: I do not know if you got a blister or not. See your dermatologist for more information on treatment.

Question 2

i have a face burn from my face wash? why

Accepted Answer

Left too long?: If this is an acne face wash, you may have left the agent on too long, or have very sensitive skin.  You also may have an allergy to one of the components. Regardless, i would recommend switching brands and evaluating cautiously, maybe using one with a different set of active ingredients.

Question 3

what can i use to cure a burn made from benzoyl peroxide face wash?

Accepted Answer

Moisturizers help: When acne creams or gels are strong on the face, and there is facial irritation or inflammation, twice a day moisturizing cream helps. Patients with much irritation find that over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream twice a day for one week, can make a big difference. One can talk with one's primary care doctor about the acne creams, to see if some of them can be used less often but still work.

Question 4

each time i use a face wash, my skin burns after rinsing. why?

Accepted Answer

Allergies?: Perhaps you are allergic or sensitive to one of the ingredients.  Change and see what happens.

Question 5

i used clean and clear deep action face wash. i felt it burning while using it and got it to close to my eyes. burns what to do?

Accepted Answer

Sensitive skin: This has, I believe, salicylic acid in it which is probably what irritated your skin and eyes. It might be too much for your skin. Rinse eyes with water or saline solution and probably avoid this solution in the future.

Question 6

i have recently started using oxy anti-spot face scrub and used it twice in one week, but now my face burns after i wash it with normal face wash that i have used for months and it feels tight. also, even when i put moisturizer on then it feels rough?

Accepted Answer

Can not tolerate: You seems to have allergy or sensitivity to Oxy Anti Spot face scrub and can not ues it as it causes your face to burn.

Question 7

how do i know if i have an allergic reaction or a chemical burn? i used a new face wash and my face is itching, burning and i have small zits showing

Accepted Answer

Contact dermatitis: This sounds like contact dermatitis.  Apply moisturizer daily, also apply 1% hydrocortisone 2-3 times a day until things improve

Question 8

i have pigmentation loss on my face from a chemical burn using a face wash, i used it for 2 months and gradually my skin got lighter in certain areas, im going to see a dermatologist but what can i use to help the pigment return?

Accepted Answer

: Sometimes what looks like lighter patches of skin may actually just be dry areas. Try using an oil free moisturizer for a few days to see if that changes the appearance of the skin. If the areas are truly depigmenting, there may be additional causes such as fungal infection. At that point you should seek help from a dermatologist.

Question 9

is face wash toxic if small amount swallowed?

Accepted Answer

Ingredients?: Really hard to answer this question accurately without knowing the ingredients in the face wash.  You should review the product label for warnings and precautions - any advice as far as swallowing the product would usually be found there.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Major brand: Major American brands are available worldwide. One such soap would be white Dove without any fragrance.
