Rashes All Over Scalp, Behind Ears, Spreading To Face, Swelling Ears. Cure For Symptoms?
I need to figure out the type of allergy I'm having, started with rash all over the scalp, a few days later down behind the ears, again a few days later It go extended to the face so the face and ears were swelling and now it is still on the face, neck and chest. I'm afraid its going to reach the chest and tighten up my breathing.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Since the rashes are spreading and you have not mentioned about its appearance and associated symptoms, it should be evaluated for the cause. Usually skin rashes does not affect systemic if it is due to derma problem. If any systemic association or the rashes appearde due to systemic problem then there are chances of other organ involvement. It may be due to allergy or due to infection or due to any drug induced rashes. Kindly let us know about above mentioned charecteristics, investigations you have, drugs you are taking and any other disease you are suffering from so that we can give you better picture for the management. Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
