I am so glad I found this site. I've been having very similar problems as well.
I am a 27 yr old female and I've always had a clear complexion until recently. On Monday night (the 18th) I felt a tingling around my mouth. I thought nothing of it, since I just finished eating some chicken with mild salsa. Tuesday morning, I noticed bright red patches on my left cheek. I covered that up with make-up. Wednesday morning, it looked like it was spreading but it wasn't as red like it was on Tuesday. I went to the doctor, he wrote me a prescription for Hydrocortisone 2.5%, and then I had some bloodwork done. He called the Rheumatologist to see if he could pencil me in sooner than I had scheduled, so I had bloodwork done again on Thursday to test specifics.
I woke up this morning and my eyes were swollen, mainly the left side of my face. The eyelids are red, along with fine bumps, and the red patch on my cheek seems like it got bigger. I don't think the Hydrocortisone is helping at all. It's also spreading to my right eye, and I feel as if my vision is blurred. I'm going to see my doctor again today. Hopefully my lab results are in because I don't want to wait until Tuesday to see the Rheumatologist.
I will keep you posted...wishing all of us the best.
