on the left side of face, i have a really sore, red lumpy rash.
i think its because i used some cream the other day i got prescribed from my doctor last year when i had a few bad spots. its called benzoyl peroxide.
its quite a big rash and its really sore, really red and really lumpy. the skin feels really tight too.
im applying lots of e45. is there anything else i can do?
im scared that ive burnt my skin and it will scar.

If it's hot and itchy then it may well be an allergic reaction in which case the help you'll get from E45 will be limited, and you'll get further with some kind of bite and sting cream/antihistamine or Hc45.
That said, stick with products you know you're ok with, you don't want to be adding to the problem.
For a reaction on my face I'd not had before I'd get medical advice, be it walk in centre, practise nurse, gp or pharmacist.
i am applying the e45 every 30 mins or so and have taken one of my hayfever tablets but not much is happening really. its gone down VERY slightly but not by much. will just have to keep at it
eurgh. i look silly.
If it's not going down, a) get medical advice and b) try something to treat the reaction, so hayfever tablet was a good idea, keep going with that, and try some kind of bite and sting/antisan cream.
try to seek help from a doctor to give you the right prescription.
Our face skin is very sensitive.. don't just use anything on your face. :thumb:
