My dd and ds had great fun on Sunday morning playing with the last of the Halloween face paints, and in particular dd used a red 'lipstick' that she hadn't used before (all over her face). They were taken straight up for a bath where we attempted to get it all off...
Then Sunday night she complained of headache, woke up with red and swollen face. Swelling went down with Piriton but she had blisters (like burns) all over her face (mostly where the lipstick was)
Took her to doctor who confirmed allergic reaction, prescribed more piriton. She is ok in herself but has to stay off nursery so she doesn't get it infected...
Has this happened to anyone else? She has never reacted to face paint before. What the hell was in the lipstick?
