I am 65 years old and have been in great health all my life. All of a sudden about 5 weeks ago my face started getting a rash that escalated and ended up looking like a really bad sunburn + a swollen face. I tried Benadryl and it didn t do anything for me. I ve been to the Dr 3 times and have been given a 3 day course of Predisone which didn t work at all, then I was given Hydroxyzine HCL for a 3 day course, but was told to use again if needed. This medication helped but I ve had flare ups about 4 times in the last 5 weeks! Today the swelling is spreading down to my neck and it seems like the Hydroxyzine isn t working. I thought it was an allergic reaction to maybe pollen, but not sure???
