What Causes Redness On The Face And Neck With Rashes And Dry Mouth?

My face and neck are red, burning, numb and stiff, like my skin is tightened up. A rash has formed as well in both areas.My eyes are a little swallen as well. Also a little bit of itching. I know this is not from the sun. I think my saliva glands might be blocked. My mouth is always dry, not much saliva coming into my mouth. This might be causing my painful symptoms, not really sure.

Hi,

Well blocked salivary gland can cause dry mouth and at times even swelling in the area of the gland and inflammation inside the mouth too. But inflammation and rash over neck and face can be due to allergic reaction or infection. So my suggestion is to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination can be done to rule out the exact cause. For now do cool compresses. Take anti allergic medicine for relief. Chew sugar free chewing gum fir improving saliva flow. Drink plenty of water.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
