Patches egyptian mag: Unclear if the red patches are eczema, allergy/ food intolerance , acne or rosacea. Though Egyptian magic contains ingredients that are natural it has not undergone rigorous testing. i would not add moisturizer to it because then you adding and making a new product beside it has olive oil. f/u/ w/ derm to determinen the underlying cause and treatment
