Dry patches after allergic reaction

2022-03-17 17:24:25
Hi. Had a bad allergic reaction to make up which has thankfully now subsided. But I have very dry scaly patches on my face that flake and come off when rubbed. Is this normal? Do I use a cream lotion whatever? My Dermat said not to use any non medicated moisturizer until next month. What can I apply to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Please attach images of the rashes and consult online for a better evaluation and treatment suggestions. If the skin is so dry that it Flakes off, you need the right moisturiser based on the amount of damage.
