What Causes Outbreak Of Itchy Lumps On Face?

I think I had an allergic response to something I ate possibly lobster (ate a tiny piece on Friday) I have a lot of bumps on my face, that itch mainly around the check area (noticed the bumps on Saturday) they are skin color not red and do not contain pus. I have been taking Benadryl since yesterday (Monday)but I don't think it's working. What would you recommended?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you have got itchy bumps on face after eating lobster that is a sea food there can be allergic reaction as sea food commonly causes allergic reactions..
You can take other anti allergics like Allegra or Levocetrizine..
You can apply Steroid ointment on face..
You can do cool compresses..
Apply Calamine lotion to soothe the skin..
In case if there is still on improvement consult an Allergist and get evaluated and he can advise Patchbtest, Prick test,RAST test etc to rule out the exact cause of problem and treat accordingly..

Hope this information helps..
