What could be causing this allergic reaction?!


Question: What could be causing this allergic reaction?
Over the last few days I've had these small, skin coloured welts appear all over my face, along with tiny little bumps and the skin on my face has gone really dry. I've started creaming it regularly to ease the dryness and antihistamine settles the welts, but I can't work out what might have caused it. I haven't changed washing powder or diet in the last few days, the only thing I can think of is I had a really bad allergic reaction to a cat about a week and a half ago, but there was a period of about five days between the initial reaction and this. Any ideas?

Thanks

Answers:

could be anything , you dont need to have used new face wash /make up / washing powder to get a reaction sometimes they just develop when your skin is already sensitive ( cat?) think also what have you been eating and drinking if it persists see gp for allergy testing if youre still worried



i had this about this time last year and i figured out it was because i was out one night and it was cold so i rubbed my new scarf on my face to warm up ( i regret this now ) then later that night my face was really itchy and i had a rash and it was because i took an allergic reaction to the material in the scarf, have you bought anything new thats been in close contact with your face? this might be the problem



see your GP
