Suggest Treatment For An Allergic Reaction To A Cream
I am having a allergic reaction to a zit cream. My eyes are swollen, my face itches and there are some hives. I have taken some allergy pills and they seem to help only a little but everytime I sleep the symptoms get a bit worse. Is there anything I can do to help this problem without going to a doctor?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be best that you have allergy testing to determine what you are causing your allergies.
This can be done by blood tests or skin testing. If you can determine what is causing the reaction then your exposure can be reduced or eliminated.
The fact that the symptoms recur when you lay down may suggest it may be related to some substance or chemical in your room.
I hope this helps
