   Heellllllllppppppppp (Acne board)

9th July 2004
I really wish it wasn't the cream because the first week of using it my skin had never looked better. But I really think it is because I'm not allergic to anything and thats the only new thing i've tried. I was kinda hopin it was the cig because I'm never trying that again anyways. I took some allergy medicine (benadryl) and hopefully when I wake up tomorrow the rash will be gone. My mom is pickin me up some aloe vera to put on it tomorrow so hopefully that will help too. As soon as the rash goes away I'm going to tryin putting a little bit of the healing cream just in one spot on my skin to see if the same thing happens because I really don't want to stop using it. I went and read those reviews and I think there was like 4 out of the 50 somethin people that had some kind of allergic reaction. I actually did get some new make up around the same time I got the cream but I dont think thats what caused it. Its called Almay Clear Complexion not Almay break out in a hideous rash. This won't leave any scars once it goes away will it???

Awww sweetie, I wish I could give you a hug. If this is really an allergic reaction, feel better knowing that it will probably go away quite fast as soon as you figure out what you are allergic to! I agree with you being skeptical that it is the cream or the new makeup, because to me, 2 weeks is an awfully long time for an allergy to just pop up like that. When I get new products from my derm, they always call me within 2 days to see if I'm reacting okay. You'd think if you were truly allergic to something, your skin wouldn't like it the first few times you used it right? I would bet more on it being something you ate, but that's just me! Did you recently stop using antibiotics or any other med? When I went off my antibiotic a couple years ago, within the first week I got this weird bumpy rash all along my hairline from ear to ear, it wasn't pimples either it was just... I don't even know, much more rash-like. But it went away within a week after that... very strange.

I know you took some allergy medicine, but maybe try a topical allergy cream or skin irritant cream? I have Benadryl in ointment form that says it's for skin irritations. The aloe should also help! Hang in there!
