Q. I am seeing a new guy and the stubble on his face has left a large chapped area on my face that almost feels burned. It’s an unpleasant aftermath of an enjoyable kissing session. I'm putting Vaseline on it. Is there anything else that might help more?
A. We checked with cosmetics expert Stanley B. Levy, MD, of Chapel Hill Dermatology in North Carolina. He said you can use 1 percent hydrocortisone cream for a few days. It is available over the counter.
To prevent or soothe irritation, Aquaphor (made by Beiersdorf) would feel and work better than Vaseline. It too is OTC.
Dr. Levy continued, “Make sure you are not sensitive to his aftershave, moisturizer or lip balm. Although the grizzly look is in, you could also ask him to shave more frequently.”
