What Is The Cure For Swelling, Redness And Itching On Face?
My husband, for about 2 weeks, has had swelling, redness, itching on his face. It's not getting better. He travels and is having problems getting to his doctor. I first thought of shingles but there has been no blisters and he says the pain is not really bad, that there is more of a discomfort. Any ideas?

Hi thanks for writing here.Itching with redness and swelling suggest allergy.Ask him to avoid soap.Use a good sunscreen or covering the face during traveling.Antihistaminic like cetrizine and topical steroid like mometasone for 2 weeks will help.Need to consult a dermatologist if there is no response.Hope this will help you.Take care.
