What Causes Hive-like Rash On Forehead, Eye Swelling And Sensitive Scalp?

Hi! I had a weird hive like thing on my forehead that sort of spread further down my face and made my eye swell. I was also a little dizzy and when it was at its worst my scalp on top was sensitive. It is getting better but I would be interested in your thoughts. I did nothing different except use a new wash cloth that did drip color, that is the only thing that was different. I am allergic to the dye stuff

Hi,

You might be suffering from Allergic Angiodema. It is an acute reaction to some allergen which can be dye, food and drugs. In its mild form it subside by its own but when severe then it is a life risking emergency.

So I would advise you to avoid allergen for your life time as in severe form it can cause laryngeal edema and difficulty in breathing which if not treated on time can lead to sudden death.

Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact again.

Regards,
