What Do Swelling, Rashes And Inflammation On The Face And Neck Indicate?

Hello, i had a very serious face and neck inflammation, It started last Monday with a rash and the rash got worse and worse. I have never had acne, nor dermatitis Nor eczema nor psoriasis. My husband had made last Sunday 10th some shrimp, I had two medium shrimp pieces. Last Friday i had 2 more pieces, and then a big flare up, Saturday it got worse and Sunday i was so puffy that i took my self to urgent care. But at the Same time of all of this my Friend from Madagascar gave me some pure vanilla essentiel oil, so i started applying this Saturday the 9th i put some on my face, the intense smell and color was Incredible, i used it for four days. So now i really dont know what caused this swelling on my face, im confused. And idea? The shrimp or the essential oil? Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Allergy can be of different causes in different people. As you have told you are confused, whether it is because of shrimp or the essential oil. Many people have allergy to shrimp. and I strongly believe it can be due to that. avoid it in future. Take antihistamines to reduce your allergy.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
