Hives on face
Hi! I went to my primary care doctor today because I woke up with hives all over my face. She said it was from my face cleanser (St Ives green tea blackhead exfoliater) since it was recently added to my skin routine. She prescribed me with hydroxyzine, which Im now taking every 6 hours. I asked if I could apply calamine lotion to my face to help with irritation and she said no. At this point I'm looking for a second opinion. Can you please help?!!

You can use calamine for the face to reduce itching .. hydroxyzine 6hourly isn’t necessary ..please consult only a dermatologist for all skin related problems
