Sudden allergies?

Or at least I think it is. My lips are itchy, my eyes are puffy. Sides of my face / jawline sometimes feel bumpy/raised/itchy.

I started with itchy, dry lips (on the “border” where the lip meets normal skin) and I wondered if it was because of a new stay-put lipstick. But I haven’t worn it for over 2 weeks now so I don’t think that would still be having an impact.

My eyes were so puffy over the weekend and really itchy eyelids. Antihistamines seem to help a little bit for a short time.

I’ve never had allergies before. Everything else like diet, detergent etc still the same as it’s always been.

I will go to the docs but seems v strange. Surely I’m not allergic to my own cats all of sudden?

Anyone had similar? Any effective natural remedies??

Allergies can suddenly happen at any age , even with products you have used for years and , sadly, even with animals you have known for years. If the use of anti-histamines helps then it seems that is an allergic reaction.

Yep 45 and I'm now allergic to dogs- still have one though.
