Hello doctor,

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your query and understood your concern.

It seems you have allergic contact dermatitis or tinea faciei. This might be cosmetic-induced or other allergen-induced allergic contact dermatitis. I suggest you do not get exposed to that chemical within the next ten days otherwise there are chances of sensitization and can cause a further flare-up of the disease. Also, apply Fucibet (Fusidic acid 2% and Betamethasone 0.1%) cream on the affected areas for five days.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Thanks and regards.
