Skin allergy on face due to sun exposure
I have red rashes on my face mostly due to sun exposure and a new product usage. It itches a little. I have consulted a dermatologist today and she has prescribed the following medicines.
Momate cream- 2 times a day,
Allegra 180mg in the morning- 10 days
bilacip 20mg in the night - 10 days
cartipred -8 twice a day for 5 days
Moisturiser
Bilacip and Allegra are both anti allergy medicine. Both are required? How different is cartipred from above two ?
I'm a little confused. Please advise.
