Fungal acne, dermatitis or something else?
Hi everyone, I’ve had this rash appear all over my face overnight. At first they were tiny skin coloured bumps covering my entire face including under eyes, above my lip, under my eyebrows etc. They now seem to have flared up red in patches and are getting more inflamed. I have only been washing with water and using a really lightweight moisturiser but my skin feels tight and stinging with slight peeling on my eyelid in the last few hours. The bumps have spread down to my neck but not in the same concentration as on my face.
I have not changed my skin routine which alternates differin, dr Sam’s neutralising gel and rest nights (a routine I have followed for months without issue) Whilst I thought I may have damaged my skin barrier although I do not think I was overusing actives I also think this came up to aggressively and quickly.
I don’t know what it is but I work in a customer facing role and I’m therefore extremely self conscious about this. I’m wary of using the anti dandruff shampoos incase it is dermatitis and makes it worse.
I have tried to do a lot of research and although some PD photos look similar I haven’t seen anyone who has had it all over there face to this extent.
Context - I have been staying in my grandmas flat so I have been exposed to mould and unfamiliar detergents but I don’t know if this is just a coincidence as this flared up the next morning.
If anyone has experienced similar or has any guidance I would really appreciate some help!
