Spot on face - #12021
I am super worried because I've got this weird spot on my face that's just shown up in the last week or so. At first, I thought it was just a pimple or something but now it's kinda turning red and looks more like a rash or an irritated spot on my face. I've tried some over-the-counter creams, but nothing seems to work and honestly, I keep touching it obsessively, which I know probably doesn't help. The spot on my face is slightly itchy, which makes me wonder if it could be an allergic reaction to something, but I can't pinpoint what it could be. I haven't changed any products or foods and I’ve been very careful lately. My friend said it might just be stress — I’ve had a bunch of deadlines lately. Has anyone experienced something like this? How long did it take for the spot on your face to go away? Should I see a dermatologist or is it okay to ride it out for now? I'm feeling really self-conscious about it, like, should I cover it up with makeup or just leave it be? The spot seems to have a mind of its own! It’s just frustrating. Any advice would really help!
