What is the treatment for irritant dermatitis?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My face is covered in tiny red patches that appeared overnight. They are not itchy or painful, but my face has a slight burning sensation. I work at a pool and think this could be due to the chlorine, but possibly something else. Beyond the red dots, I got four to six pimples in less than a week. I rarely break out that much usually just one or two pimples over a month. I have not changed my skincare at all in the past three months either. My eyelids are also red and irritated, and there is a dry patch on my right eyelid. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I can understand your concern.
It appears to be Irritant dermatitis with acne grade 2. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.
- Apply Lactocalamine face lotion two to three times daily for 10 days.
- Avoid known triggers.
- Avoid scratching and rubbing of lesions.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Avoid contact with harsh chemicals/irritants.
- Apply Acnesol A nano gel (Adapalene and Clindamycin) at night for two weeks.
Kindly consult a physician, talk to them, and take the medications with their consent.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
