Help! What's going on with my face?

Sorry, this doesn't belong in AIBU. I'm posting for traffic in the hope that someone knows what the hell is going on with my skin Confused.

So yesterday I had slightly puffy eyes. No big deal, probably hayfever or something... except now my eye lids are puffy, my under eye bag area has folds in it, and I have a second bag area that dips below my cheekbones which is red, swollen, itchy, and actually starting to flake. Honestly, it looks and feels awful!

Coupled with this, random areas of my body are beginning to itch and when I scratch them it turns into a raised bumpy rash. And I keep getting patches of red skin that's really hot to the touch.

I haven't used any new products or anything, could this be hayfever? Antihistamines don't seem to be making a difference... If anyone has any knows what this could be, or has any tips to soothe the itch (before i claw my face off), I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks for all the advice. I called 111 last night and spoke to a nurse who wasn't too concerned and advised getting an appointment with my GP if it was no better by Tuesday Smile.

It's looking less swollen this morning so hopefully it's just one of those weird things!
