I would also try to use hypoallergenic products, not just on your face, which are free of dye and fragrance to avoid further irritating already sensitive skin. Neutrogena, Physicians Formula, and VMV hypoallergenics are examples of hypoallergenic lines. I don't have any advice on shaving, but having less hair on the affected areas makes it easier for topical medications to work. And always moisturize (with a hypoallergenic moisturizer like Aquaphor or Cerave). Good luck!

I have a hstory of allergies, and have been on several topical treatments but nothing seems to work. Do you have any shaving tips or general tips for managing atopic dermatits on the face (a very painful and visible area)? Thank you.

When really active, it is red and itchy. My dermatologist diagnosed me with contact dermatitis. I was prescribed Desonide, which would knock it down to where it was a slightly darker spot with no itch, but as soon as I stopped the application, the redness and itchiness would re-appear within 2-3 days, no matter how long the application period. My dermatologist then did patch testing, which revealed very slight sensitivities to parabens as well as topical steroids. I was given a list of paraben free products which I switched to, and also switched to ProTopic. Again, the rash seemed to subside to a less noticeable level for a couple of weeks, but now it is back and the ProTopic seems to be having virtually no effect. I have a follow up appointment next week and am nearly at my wit's end. I'm not sure I even trust the diagnosis as contact dermatitis seems to be a convenient fallback for anything that isn't easily identifiable, and I'm not convinced that the reactions from the patch tests are the culprits since the measurements were mild. Is there something that I should be seeing as a next step from my dermatologist? I feel that there should be more attention on identifying the root cause, but am not sure what adequate steps would be to ensure that I'm getting adequate treatment. This is extremely uncomfortable and is also embarrassing to me since it's in such a noticeable spot on my face.
