Avoidance: If you are reacting to something you are putting on your face, stop. It is difficult for many females to stop using their cosmetics, completely, until the skin heals up. Otc Hydrocortisone cream is helpful in speeding up the healing process and is safe for short term use, but ultimately avoidance is the only cure.

Contact Dermatitis: Could be your makeup. The answer is to avoid the trigger as well as to use a mild topical steroid cream to calm down the inflammation.
