HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, certain possibilities are there one is allergic condition, second is hormone changes and third which may be most likely and that is uncontrolled diabetes because plasma glucose level needs to be managed on tight rule basis, on tentative basis anti-histamine can be tired and best drug would be Tab Loratadine 10 mg three times in day hope this information helps.
