What Causes Recurring Rash On Breast And Swollen Lip?
For the fifth time I have had the same bizarre occurrence, my upper lip on the left side swells up and I get a round quarter size rash on my left breast. Each time they have both occurred in the exact location and the day prior I have had flu like symptoms with a low grade fever. I have asked my doctor and he thinks it s a coincidence and a mild allergic reaction. I feel like it s viral. Any ideas?

Hi,
Recurrent rashes or swollen lips could be due to allergic hives.
Rashes could be of atopic dermatitis, eczema,tinea corporis or psoriasis etc.
You must undergo allergic testing and detailed thoroughly examination by dermatologist.
You might require topical and oral corticosteroids with topical antifungal cream or ointments with other antihistamines and supportive treatment.
So,it would be better you consult dermatologist or allergic specialist.
Thanks and regards,
