What Do Red Bumps On The Nose And Face Indicate?

I have had, and it started around my nose, a skin problem that has been going on for about three years. at first I thought it was an acne break out but I noticed that these small red bumps trailed out from my nose and onto my face. They continued until I had 4 instances of huge boils on my neck my stomach, hip and knee. Once my bottom lip swole so huge I went to the emergency room and they gave me antibiotics but offered no diagnosis.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms of red bumps on the face as well as other parts of skin can be due to causes like Allergic reaction, bacterial or staph Infection.

Swelling of lip is commonly seen due to Allergic reaction causing Allergic Angioedema..

So my advice is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

A blood test and culture and microscopy of the scrapings from the sores can help in confirmation of the diagnosis..

For now you can apply a combination of Steroid and antibiotic ointment over the bumps..
Do cool compresses over the bumps.
If there is itching take Benadryl..

Hope this helps..

Regards .
