Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
I'm sorry to hear that you seem to be having an allergic reaction to the topical toner. I would recommend that you take an anti-allergy medicine such as Claritin or Zyrtec now and again tomorrow.
Also you might benefit from taking some Benadryl. Generally we would recommend 25 mg every 6 to 8 hours as needed. Be careful however because Benadryl can cause significant drowsiness. please talk to your doctor before taking any of these particular treatments.
I suspect that your face feels tight in light of mild swelling. This should slowly improve over time. However, if the symptoms persist or you develop progressive pain then I would recommend that you report to your local emergency department for immediate evaluation. Also if you noticed any swelling of your tongue or difficulty breathing then also I would recommend that you go to the emergency room immediately.
thank you again for sending the question.
