How Can A Welts Like Rash On The Face Be Treated?
My husband is 58 and has been experiencing a gradually increasing raised bumpy rash on his face - started on one side on his cheek and is now spreading from yesterday to today to the other side of his face and up on his forehead. It is itchy, raised, and the skin seems to be thickened. It is making him feel flushed, and today he also has a general run down feeling. Any help would be appreciated. He cannot get an appointment with his family doctor until tomorrow. YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
This sounds like some sort of allergic reaction. He may get some relief from cool compresses and antihistamines but he needs to see a doctor. He should go to hospital by ambulance if he becomes short of breath.
Regards
