A member asked:
Please tell me, could i be allergic to petroleum jelly on my face but not anywhere else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation rather: not an allergic reaction, your face is always exposed to air, sun and different agents , so it reacts differently, avoid petroleum jelly on your face, apply moisturizers on a rather damp skin, not dry skin, after washing with a cream soap
