I was pretty red the next morning. I washed my face pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-allergic-reaction-to-face-cream#post-2084169 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:29:10 +0000 sandy 2084169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: if it looks like hives I would try taking Benadryl and see if it clears it up. But honestly I feel like reactions to topical stuff is more rash like (like a burn almost) where the skin itself is irritated/damaged and usually that just has to heal and clear up. Maybe call your doc and see if they have anything to help or see if applying a tiny bit of hydrocortisone cream helps a tiny area. I'm so sorry this happend! You're so beautiful but I know how awful that feels when you're going out and can't wear your makeup and get all dolled up. Hope it heals quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-allergic-reaction-to-face-cream#post-2084167 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:27:44 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2084167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: how long before it went away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-allergic-reaction-to-face-cream#post-2084164 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:25:13 +0000 avivoca 2084164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an allergic reaction to Arbonne products. I had to wash my face really well and just wait for the hives to go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-allergic-reaction-to-face-cream#post-2084151 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 22:15:16 +0000 mrsjyw 2084151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried Benadryl? It's the only things that's worked for me when I've broken out in reaction to a new lotion or product. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-allergic-reaction-to-face-cream#post-2084110 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:20:52 +0000 Mae 2084110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an allergic reaction to a prescription acne cream when I was in hs but it was very itchy so I don't know if it was really the same as yours. I just made sure to wash my face really well once I realized what was happening to get all residue off. Then just had to wait for it to go away. You could probably call your GP or dermatologist to see if they could prescribe something? or benadryl? I don't know but that sucks, sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-allergic-reaction-to-face-cream#post-2084095 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:07:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2084095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had an allergic reaction on their face?? I tried out a new cream that my friend is selling and now my face and neck are completely covered in a rash. It's almost like hives but it doesn't itch. I'm not sure if I should put anything on it or leave it. </p> <p>I really want this cleared up before Friday because I'm going on an overnight trip w/ DH (in public and i'd really like to wear my makeup)</p> <p>Any thoughts on what to do or how long it takes to go away?? </p>
