Suggest Remedy For Itchy Red Blotches On The Cheek And Hands
I have red blotches that itch and have appeared on my left cheek and back of left hand, also on the back of my right hand and another on my right fore arm. In addition to these spots that are red, round and itch, my lips were also swollen when I got up this morning. There are no blisters or previous injury. Benadryl cream helps with itching. No fever but do have headache. I have had this happen a few times the past year and each time the spots come back on the same areas. It lasts about a week. It s really bothers me when my lips and face swell up.
