Recovered From Measles. Had It On Stomach, Chest, Back. On Cortisone. Now Face Is Swollen. Tingling Sensation In Cheeks, Chin.

My wife has recently been recovered for a disease similar to measles but she had it only on her stomach, chest and back. (None were seen on her limbs). After a few days of taking cortisone, she had to take a morning after pill. Now her face is a little swollen and a lot more wrinkly than before. The problem is that now she has a tingling sensation in her cheeks and chin and at the back of her head (not neck). Any ideas what may be causing this?
