Suggest Treatment For Hot, Itchy And Swollen Area On Right Cheek
I have a hot, itchy, red, swollen area on my right cheekbone. I awoke with a small red spot 4 days ago -- I thought maybe a bug bit me in my sleep. It felt like an abrasion but continues to get bigger, hotter and itchier. Could this be cellulitis? I am allergic to penicillin and erythromycin. What are my options?
