I wonder if anyone can help me.

I was applying some Sudocrem and moisturiser to my face last night and had a painful stinging sensation on the skin below my left eye/just above my left cheekbone. It stings like I've put product into a cut, but there's no cuts on my face.

The stinging lasts for a minute or two (painfully) and then I can still feel it for a while afterwards.

I don't suppose anyone's had experience of this weird pain and can tell me what it is. I'll be going to a pharmacy or something anyway.

Thanks.

Are you applying sudocrem all over your face?

This will be to do with the fact sudocrem isn't supposed to go on the face and is actually harmful to it.

It's usually where your skin is irritated anyway, applying anything on top of it will cause further irritation. I use sudo religiously on my face, clears up any breakouts in a day or so but have experienced that burning sensation a few times. Just clean it off with cold water and don't apply anything else to that area for a few days, just water.

Thank you. I figured that's what it was and not the Sudocrem itself as it was happening with all products that I used (moisturiser, under-eye cream, etc.). I'll just keep away from that area for a few days.

Turns out that it was the Epiduo cream I'd been using for my acne. The doctor changed the prescription for me this morning.
