Hello,
A photo of the affected face side is needed to see the changes.
I want to know if you are also having general malaise or fever? We should consider erysipelas or other bacterial skin infection.
Plus, ear infection or any problem with your teeth can also be the cause.
Do measure your blood pressure record the results for reference.
Set a consultation appointment with your primary doctor first.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
