What Causes Swelling And Red Rashes On Ears,cheek And Forehead?
Hi, I started to get rashes on my right ear 3days ago. It was especially situated on my ear lobe in small clusters of red bumps. Now my right ear is swollen and the red bumps have spread to my cheek and forehead. They itch especially when i feel hot. I also notice this little red bumps on my arms. I went to the doctors and they told me it could be an allergic reaction to something or new shampoo/conditioner and prescribed antibiotics for it. It has been a day and half since taking the medications and i see that it is not going away, in fact it has gotten worse. They are not sore or anything, they just itch and spread quickly.

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is polymorphic light eruptions.The lesions have a tendency to occur on sun exposed areas of the body. Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly before you go out. Oral anti oxidants can also be used. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used after consulting your dermatologist.
