Skin problem (face)

[Ria8]

i have never had problems with my skin and neve used to get red in the face. never had bad spots or anything. two years ago, i woke up with this rash. it was tiny white hed pimples all over my cheeks forehead and chin. i went to the doctors and all they gave me was allergy tablets. for the past two years i suffer from getting these rashes, the tiny spots appear whenever they want. sometimes i wake up with great skin and others, really bad. and i get really hot and in the face sometimes. and sometimes im fine and have really radiant lovely skin. please help me. what do i do?

i also forgot to say that it also gets itchy when my cheeks get hot.
- i have replaced my makeup many times
- tried cutting out bad foods
- tried different creams and cleansers, toners
- face packs
nothing seems to get rid of the problem. it cant be eczema because sometimes my skin is clear and soft. other days i have the problem. is that right?

Hi,
Rashes that appear and disappear on their own are usually allergic in nature. The pathological reaction that takes place on your skin due to foreign particles is considered as allergy rash.

The body's immune system reacts adversely to a substance and produces a chemical called histamine which is responsible for the feeling of warmth, rashes and the itchiness.

You can take anti-histamines like Cetrizine/Loratidine when it appears and also apply anti-itch lotions to fet relief from the symptoms.

There is no real cure to allergies, if you can find out what triggers it off you can then avoid it to reduce the recurrence of outbreaks.
