Red, itchy, bumpy rash on face

Posted , 3 users are following.

I’ve had this rash that repeatedly appears on my face for 8 months now. It goes away when hydrocortisone cream is used on it, but comes back almost immediately 2-3 days later(I know steroids are bad for the skin long term, so I am searching for another solution). I have had eczema for years on my body, and have dealt with acne for 1-2 years as well. It doesn’t seem like acne or eczema. It’s very bumpy, red, itchy, and spreads quickly. I’ve tried changing my skincare routine, getting rid of everything except using water, and getting patch tested for allergies. Using only water has helped the most, but my face becomes dry, flaky, and my acne gets 10x worse. Nothing works, so I really hope someone will come up with an answer for me!

    It could be a number of things. Try switching to an all natural skin routine. Hemp oil is amazing at removing makeup (wipes are the worst) and i follow up with ground oats (finely ground in a coffee grinder) to remove traces of oil). Amazon does a great silver msm moisturiser with all natural ingredients.

    i would also do an elimination diet. Animal products (organic and grassfed) are not inflammatory and then add one product back every 2 days to see how your skin reacts.
