swollen face, neck loosing.. just about giving up

[lostblonde86]

I'm posting here as maybe someone might have idea what is causing this or at least what I can do for relief!

Basically end if January, started with a few patched of dry sore skin on my face, that came and went as they felt like it although nothing I couldn't handle. However it's progressed that about 3 weeks ago I have very hot skin at times dry/weepy but my face is very swollen, cheeks, and neck, and around my eyes, with a look of permanent sun burn which weeps when I put anything on it.

doctors first thought it was a side effect to my meds, (bloods came back fine for this) saw doc a second time and he gave me different creams and a second lot of antihistamines to take which just took the edge off the itchiness.
3rd trip to doctors, have 2nd generation antihistamines (so I've been told) 180mg per day and told to stop all creams and other tablets, and just use provide - jelly, ad my face is sooo dry! face is now constantly swollen red and we aps when I put anything on it. I've had a allergy blood test done last week and waiting for the results.

I have psorasis which this isn't. but unsure if the meds are causing it or if allgeries. but I don't know what to do with myself, I wake up and cannot see my eyes are so swollen and take a while to go down.

has anyone else had anything like this or anything I can use for some comfort please? I feel awful.

Is it worse in the morning when you wake up? Wondering if it could be something in your bedroom which is behind it? I turned out to be allergic to my "new" synthetic filled pillows, I had to go back to my old feather ones... It was a gradual reaction rather than instant. It took my optician to tell me that, I had been going to GP who were prescribing stuff, but I wasn't getting any better. I tell you this as possible food for thought on what might be causing your problems.

I would check the ingredients of shampoo, shower gel and face creams to see if you've started to use anything that is flaring up your skin.
