For the past month  I have experienced a progressively worsening swelling of the eyelids and under eyes with swelling across the bridge of my nose - so severe  that when I went to the clinic the receptionist asked if I had reported the incident to the police. My face looked like someone punched me. Puffiness impedes vision, cheeks are red and swollen as well and skin looks red & chapped, hive like rash developed down right side of face to under chin.

When swelling reduces - purple & red bruising around & under eyes - with scaly/peeling skin all over face - very sensative and tender.

Have kept a daily log of food & drink - eating same foods everyday- increased probiotic intake. No wheat, eggs alcohol or additives.

Have not worn makeup- threw out what I had

No changes in bedding, detergents, soaps, creams etc..

GP~ Blood work, Urine, thyroid - AOK

Optometrist ~ no periorbital congunctevitis

Allergist  ~ thought it was contact dermatiits ~ prescribed Cortisone cream which burned 

GP prescribed prednisone to reduce swelling 5mg x 3 daily - cant be on those forever !!

Am waiting for a Dermatologist appt -

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!
