It does sound like an allergic reaction. You might try applying some hydrocortisone cream to the rash (you can buy this in any drug store). If it worsens or doesn't improve within the next 24 hours or so, you might want to talk to a doctor about it. There is a simple test that can be done to determine if you really have a feather allergy -- and if you do, you would definitely want to reconsider owning a feather mattress!

Ouch.
I had eczema ointment that left my skin burning for days, it was a side effect, and I had to let my skin get use to it.
Maybe you're allergic to dust, I don't recommend any soap or lotion with perfume in it. Sometimes it adds to the rash, just try a damp cloth.
try taking a benadryl or claritin.

oooh, dont put anything on your face until it clears up. Use a mild soap (like dove) until it stops acting up. Be careful!!!!!
