What Causes Rashes Around The Eyes And Ears?
Hello, I ve had a rash around my eyes and ears for over a week. It s been accompanied with swollen lymph nodes on both sides of my jaw. I do NOT have a fever, but I ve felt sickly and haven t had much of an appetite. I ve used a steroid cream on my rash the entire time. It helps some, but not much. I have also been taking Allegra for 5 days in a row. I don t know if it s helping or not. Do you think I need an antibiotic? Could it be something serious like Lymphoma? Thanks for your help, Aaron

Good day and thank you for posting this question. No, you do not need to take an antibiotic. And it could be something serious like lymphoma. So the best thing to do to clear all the doubt is to visit your doctor and do investigations like Full blood count ESR urinalysis and kidney function tests. The results of the test will determine the diagnosis and what to do next.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
