A warning about this particular allergy, you may start to react in the future (or may have already since it's been 9 months) to citric acid. This is often used to preserve things like pickles but it's in A LOT. So watch out for that. Keep doing a food journal, but I'd also get into an allergist.

I e been going through this for 1 year and finally figured it out. I moved back home , was living in Florida and no skin issues. Winters are tough in New England. I noticed my eyes were getting red and itchy and my skin looked blotchy and dry. I went tanning a few times in a salon off and on too. Also, started exfoliating w/ homemade sugar honey coconut oil scrub. Went to allergist for eyes and they told me I was allergic to luminene which is also citrus and essentially all things w/ fragrance. Threw away all creams and make up. Took me almost a year to realize I had broken skin barrier which tanning and exfoliating would make worse. Finally stared smearing aquaphor w/ cortisone on face and eyelids and cleared up in 2 days.

Also quick note: You might also want to talk to your dermatologist when you get a flareup. They can help you so much and if you're lucky, your insurance covers your prescribed products :) For me: Well I had the worst allergic skin reaction a week before my prom and nothing helped, but my doctor, bless her soul, prescribed me 2 cortisone / steroid creams and gave me free samples of La Roche Posay creams. My skin cleared up within two days and I still have my prescribed creams for whenever I get allergic flareups. Can't ever hurt to talk to your derm, on that note, they might even conduct an allergy test for you so you know which allergens to look out for :)

@MichelleKanemitsu 2 жыл бұрын

Great point! I'm so glad your derm was able to help, especially in time for prom!! 😱☺️ Seeing a dermatologist is always a good idea for skin concerns like this. I don't have a dermatologist right now though, so I had to try to figure out my cause and a solution on my own 😅 But I did have one 4-5 years ago when I still lived back home and he gave me a steroid cream for a reaction I had and it helped a TON! But I do get kind of hesitant to use steroid creams because I don't want to become reliant on them since it can trigger topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). It's a rare occurrence, but still. But yeah they definitely can do allergy tests too which would also help tons!

@zaya2960 2 жыл бұрын

@@MichelleKanemitsu Oh that's a pity! For me...I also kind of didn't have a go-to derm. I just wrote a very desperate email to the derm's office and got an appointment that way😅 But maybe that's different in every country. And thank you so much for thematizing TSW. I kinda forgot it exists. It's definitely an important concern and in order to avoid it, one should stick to the doc's treatment plan and stop treatment when the doctor says one should stop! Extending treatment longer than the doctor recommends, using treatment more often than recommended or using too strong stuff increases the probability of TSW. And abt the allergy test...bro it sucks so much that allergies can wreak such havoc over perfectly fine skin. And the allergy doesn't even need to be about something you put on your skin, like in your case oranges / the orange peel oil. If someone can't figure out the cause of their skin reaction by isolating products, allergies like dust mites or pollen could also be the culprit. At least that was the case for me. Allergies just SUCKKKK

I had to skip sunscreen cuz it makes my skin irritated. however I protect my skin with umbrella & hat! I keep the simple routine for 4 weeks and slowly get into my regular routine again. of course I already get rid of the potential allergen skincare. now it's better!

You may be dealing with Roscea,/ autoimmune issues. You should probably mention to your doctor and she may order simple blood work to determine that. You'll want to be aware of the possibility earlier in your life rather than later, as it can be responsible for a wide variety of issues that may pop up, that at first may not be related. I just got over my first time having Covid, and the day I finally tested negative, I woke up with a very very severe facial rash that looked like a combination bad bad sunburn with some poison ivy thrown it. It itched and burned like nothing I had ever experienced. After an ER visit, PCP, and dermatologist visit, it has finally calmed down and my eyes and face aren't blown up and puffy. My skin had never been as red and raw before. The ONLY thing I am still putting on my face that doesn't burn and sting is straight milk or half and half. It has been traumatic, and I'm expecting it may flare up again if I'm not careful. Doctors believe it may have been my body's over reaction to Covid. Went into high gear and started to attack itself due to an auto immune situation. I have been taking oral prednisone as well, but hope that won't have to be repeated in the future. The topical cortisone ointment the dr. rx'd burned and stung and seemed to aggravate my skin, so I stopped using. Also, steroid creams can thin out the delicate skin on your face, so should be used short term and with caution. Hope this may help others.

Wow I love your detective work 🎉 for last few weeks, I’ve had terrible problems around eyes. I am prone to eczema and I had it in my ears too. Over the course of my adult life, I’ve found two things which ALWAYS work but not cheap and that is Chinese medicine comprising acupuncture and herbs AND red light therapy. I wouldn’t use any of your products because I don’t support animal testing and I’m vegan and there are so many cruelty free options. I still enjoyed your vlog though. When I went last for acupuncture and herbs, I was covered head to toe and it took a long time including removing loads of foods under the guidance of a Chinese doctor. Honestly they were so lovely and supportive and I prefer holistic medicine anyway. I had been free for several years before this so I would recommend. I also think that the body is programmed to heal itself so when in doubt go makeup free and keep things simple. I like coconut oil for cleansing/moisture etc. Thanks again and if you ever fancy doing this subject again but for all your vegan subscribers, that would be lovely. 🙋‍♀️🙌👏🏼💐🙏💪🇬🇧

It looks like a chemical burn! Cerave healing oitment to the rescue for me everytime. It could be even you are allergic to topical vitamin c as well. I can’t use it it burns my skin. Citrus in skin care is consider fragrance which is the number one reason people are sent to the dermatologist.

@Maria_Shoaib Жыл бұрын

@@maryr23 tbh. Mine never got better. But i wouldn't want you to repeat my mistakes. Don't let any active near your face for a good three months. Heal your moisture barrier by using a gentle cleanser like cerave only in the PM , then a moisturizer preferably with ceramides and then sunscreen. Keep it simple for three months. You'll thank me. You can use occlusives (like Vaseline) or hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid) to speed up the healing process.

Did your red skin improve ? I used a moisturizer that messed up my face. My cheeks are red, dry and itchy too sometimes. Idk what to do. My dermatologist recommended cortisone and I used it a few times but I’m terrified of the side effects. I used some other moisturizers too but they didn’t really work ? Will it get better if I just leave my skin alone and don’t use anything ?

I've heard that you're not supposed to slug right after applying strong actives like tretinoin because it could make the active more potent and cause more irritation. But it really depends on your skin. I think it's okay to slug on the days you don't use tretinoin to help get rid of the flakiness though

Try Equaphor maximum strength ointment. Put it all over your face at night and leave it on overnight. Some people use Vaseline too but I found Equaphor to really take away the itching. After a year of trial and error I found this was all I needed. Well, besides having to stop exfoliating and no more tanning beds. Hope this helps.

I used benzyol peroxide and another cream once for six days,at the third day my skin was red and itchy. I went ro my dermatologist and she told me that it was not a major alergic reaction and told me to continue using it.I used it for six days,it was so red and burning too. Now it's been five days since the medication ended and my face looks orange. I don't use actives rn and moisturize,don't use harsh cleansers,and stick to cleanse, moisturize,sunscreen. İs it okay to be ORANGE? I'am honestly scared that it will not go away,is it a part of the healing process😢

Brands need to stop using essential oils especially orange peel oil and those citrus oils. It’s the dumbest thing to use because so many get reactions to it at some point in their lives.
