You're welcome :) better to catch it early Incase. I told myself it'd go away and a few weeks passed and it just got worse and even more itchy, would never want anyone else to go through that haha :)

Thankyou Shaye, I will definitely be going to see my doctor!

It took me about a month before I realised it wasn't just a reaction and by the time I'd gone to the dr my face had scabbed up in certain places from me itching at it. They'll give you a cream for it and within a couple days it'll be gone :) that's just what it sounds like to me but if you're certain it's just a reaction perhaps someone else might answer to help a little more.

Okay, how itchy are we talking? It could actually be a skin infection, I've had one of these from using a cheap product I hadn't tried before and it sounds like you're having a similar problem.

Hey everyone,
I woke up this morning with a really bad rash on my face, and I found out that it's a reaction.
My 6 year old cousin put my sisters makeup on my face yesterday, and I never use ANY makeup at all (not ever- I have a strong dislike of makeup) so my skin reacted to it quite severely.
Now I have these red bumps all over my face, swelling, and my skin is itchy.
I don't want to irritate the skin even more, so I don't want to exfoliate, and I don't know if acids in skincare products will make it worse! I don't know what to do!
Can anyone suggest some more gentle products or tricks to soothe my skin and hopefully get rid of this ASAP?
