Facial burn, feel sick, swollen and red,

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have had this now going on almost 2 weeks ago. I feel like giving up. I am so very, very, tired. If I go online it scares me, it's like I have every known

thing online. I am using benadryl creme now. Cannot use anything with artificial color or perfume like skin lotion. Makes it worse. Going back into my past health history, could it be shingles again. Answers if any, would be so helpful.

Any over the counter remedy? Help me please.

    I deal with the facial burn red swelling now ever since this stupid peri menopause started sometimes I've had a huge red thickness patch over the cheek bone and plus the acne and I've had to put cold rags ! The best thing that has helped me in AVENO HYDROCORTISONE CREAM it helps a lot some months are worse than others but I deal with this constantly I apply the cream and when real bad I'll put one layer of Benadryl then apply to AVENO OVER IT. I only use those two things and plain soap and water soap like nutregeni spelling 😐

    teeny blisters in clusters are a signature manifestation of shingles along with the burning pain.

    Infection comes to mind, cellulitis, perhaps staph.

    Stop by emergency for diagnosis...you may need antibiotics.

    Just throwing this out there could it be rosacea?  My son had a pretty bad case of it.  You can get tiny pus like blisters if it is severe.  I would go to a dermatologist and get a diagnosis.
