Doctor insights on: Red Bumpy Rash On Face

Rash: Have your doctor look at the rash. If it looks like hives it may be you are allergic to a medication you were given. A fine red bumpy rash may be more in keeping with something you came in contact with. Seeing it would help sort this out. Good luck with this, always confusing.

Possible Rosacea: You could have rosacea especially if the rash gets worse when you sweat, get hot, or get stressed. There are treatments for this. You should see your doc or a dermatologist.

Irritated skin: OTC hydrocortisone cream 1 % would do, as well as time, apply only a thin film, avoid eyes/eyelids

Allergy: Sounds like an allergic reaction to something you ate. If your throat swells up or you start wheezing go to nearest er immediately. Try Benadryl (diphenhydramine) otc for symptom control for now and see your doctor if persists.

Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine

Skin rash: Possibly rosacea or a combination of acne and rosacea.

Maybe herpetic virus: If you or someone close to the baby has herpes -- cold sores, etc. Then it is possible that your baby has gotten them. What you described is consistent with a primary (1st time) herpetic infection. Get to the pediatrician asap for diagnosis and any treatment.

Need to see derm: Possibly secondarily infected acne, esp if on face. If sweating mostly on axillae with drainage, would prob need antibiotic

Periorbital rash: May be infection like strep or may be lyme which can have a multitude of presentations. Could also be allergic reaction-new topical creams on face or soaps? Very rarely may be HSP variant (Henoch-Schonlein purpura) any joint pains/ lower extremity rash or dots? Keep hydrated. Would follow up with doc over next 24 -48 hours

Irritating: Can you go without shaving for 7--10 days? Also try little shaving cream in small area on face for 20 minutes and wash it of see if it causes itchiness. Donot irritate the face everyday let it heal with otc 1 % h-c cream. Pure aloe helps too. See a dermatologist.

Depends: Lots of rashes are.

Please see: Please see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options. This way you can get the best treatment.

Read drug info: This is most likely a reaction to the sun but your medications may make you photo sensitive and prone to a rash. If this is the area to which you are applying steroid, that could also be a cause.

Depends on the cause: There are many types and causes of skin rashes that could cause itching. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Possible: Malar ("butterfly") rash could be caused by contact dermatitis, for instance due to cosmetic products. However, malar rash, particularly when very sensitive to the sun, can be a feature of lupus or other autoimmune diseases. Usually other symptoms and lab abnormalities would be present, so you should be evaluated for the rash by your doctor.

See rheumatologist: Seeing a rheumatologist or dermatologist to rule out other concomitant autoimmune diseases may be helpful. They may check additional lab work such as an ANA and/or do a skin biopsy if needed.

M.D. visit/skin care: In addition to eczema, it may be related to contact with a product or plant oil that triggers a reaction. I would suggest the use of a hypoallergenic soap such as white dove and eucerin cream, avoiding hot water and rubbing the area, until your physician sees him.

See dermatologist: It is difficult to make any sense out of this without a direct exam of the rash and knowing more about your health and medication intake. Consider seeing a dermatologist who may obtain a biopsy on one of the lesions.
