JAMES B	This sounds like facial eczema to me. Have you seen your GP about this? I have been through horrific facial eczema, and it is a difficult skin condition to treat. Your facial skin is more prone to allergies because the skin on your face absorbs germs and bacteria easily and it's worse for people with dry Skin. Here's a step by step guide: 1. Make a appointment to see your doctor. He will prescribe you a steroid cream and antihistamines. Try to get 'Oilatum Natural Face Repair Cream' on prescription. 2. Apply Steroid cream just before you go to bed and apply a thin layer of Vaseline to trap the moisture and to allow the steroid to it's job, without any outside distractions. 3. Try this technique first thing in the morning http://www.eczemaallergy.net/CLEANSING.htm 4. Don't put any Vaseline or steroid on in the morning, allow your skin some air. 5. Continue this routine until your skin is clear and moisturized. Apply steroid only when you strongly suspect an allergy to occur. What do you need to avoid? Never wash your face with water. You will only make your skin dryer. Avoid Caffeine products, like coffee, chocolate, coke. Caffeine has a very high Histamine affect on your body Avoid soaps and detergents Get at least 8 hours sleep a night. Don't stay up until the early hours, this will have side affects on your skin. Try taking a Multivitamin, Zinc and omega supplements. Avoid omega supplements with fish oils in them. Fish has a very high allergy risk. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Eat healthy foods, which have no side affects on your body. Good luck, hope your condition improves. James Brown Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

addisonjohnjen	Don't use regular moisturizer, you need medicated cream for allergy/rash. It is generally thicker and does not burn or itch when applied. You could try baby diaper Rash cream, it contains Zinc Oxide, which helps to heal while creating a barrier so skin doesn't dry out further. Failing that, you could try to do facial steams, just pour boiling water in a bowl and put a towel over your head and your head over the bowl (like people do when they are sick). BE CAREFUL though and if it feels worse obviously stop right away! Whatever you do, you should try to do it at night as this is the least uncomfortable time to have stuff on your face.
