I've been sanding and refinishing cabinets. Even though I've used a mask and goggles I have a rash on my cheeks and forehead. What can I take to get rid of it?

It's probably just irritation from the little wood particles - my husband always gets minor rashes, red spots and annoyances after he works with wood. Take a cool shower (hot water will irritate it further) and put on something to rehydrate the skin, like Aquaphor. Even the gentlest lotion can cause more discomfort.
